**** zip ties

when i put my suspension on a while ago it didnt come with brake hose brackets to hold the brake hose so i zip tied them

to hold them in place and my wonderful tires wore a whole through my brake hose and now i have no brakes.

Damn thats a stroke of bad luck.

Next time you should have the foresight to think of maybe zip them in a manner that holds them securely away from any moving parts.

guess you might as well upgrade to stainless steel brake lines now for that firmer pedal feel
