Brake Line Routing

[GG205rob 0]

I have just fitted a pair of 306 gti-6 struts, they have gone on fine, the problem i have is how to route the flexi brake pipe, as there is not a fitting on the strut like there is for the 205 strut to keep the line fixed into place, and i don't want to just leave it unsecured. I don't think it should make any difference to this but i am running 406 brembo 4 pots. Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

I just used a thick cable tie and secured it to the strut, tight enough to secure it, but loose enough to allow movement when on lock.

Put the hose in a P clip and use a jubilee ring around the strut to hold the P clip.

This is the better method than just a cable tie imo, I used a cable tie on my 306 after the bolt sheared in the hub for the hose guide / support & it was mentioned on the MOT that it wasn't that ideal beause even though it was loose it was still restricting proper movement of the flexi when you turned the wheels.

I agree the p clip would be a better idea, however if your careful and check lock, using a cable tie works just fine, used this for over a year and been through an mot with no issues.

Gone with the p-clip. Thanks for the advice
