John Blount 11 Posted January 25, 2018 I’m sure this has come up before and there is a known solution? I’ve ordered some new hoses which are made to order for the car to the original sizes and length etc but when they have arrived the front ones are missing the large securing grommet that attaches to the bracket that bolts to the suspension strut so now the hoses on the front will be free to float around. Originally the brackets were missing that attach to the suspension strut (taken off by the previous owner) when the original hoses were fitted and this was going to fail the MOT without them so I know I can’t leave the new ones in the same state so is there are solution such as a universal brake hose clamp etc? What have others done as I don’t like tie wraps and I’m sure that wouldn’t be the preferred method anyway. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted January 25, 2018 From memory, think i cut the grommet off the old hose with a single slit, then put around the new hose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 25, 2018 Use a pair of long nose pliers in the hole of the grommet, pull the handle apart to create a wide enough gap to feed the new hose through. I've got a spreader tool type thing but this should work fine mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
