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.
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))
They're pretty small so printing 6 sets of them (three per leg) on high quality only took a few hours.

I tried a few simple and elegant, one piece versions but decided the two piece version was better.
There's never a dull moment when you have a new tool... :gig:
