Since just zip-tying the brake lines to the gear legs wasn't complicated enough for some members of our chapter Waiex build team I made some waaaaay overthought standoffs.

They came out pretty neat and worked great so I thought I'd post some pictures.

Brake Line Mount4 exp.jpg Brake Line Mount4.jpg The brake line fits into the horizontal grove on the big piece, rotates 90 deg's and snaps/locks on to the brake line. Then the little piece snaps/locks over the brake line in the grove. (the CAD work was a lot of fun (if you enjoy CAD work))
