I would love to blame it on the PO, but it was me who broke this. I broke the end off just enough where it is no longer useable.The brass strap secures my rear brake line on my 1960 Bugeye. Anyone know where I can get one of these?

Kevin,

Could you silver solder a piece on? Over time it probably would not show too much, especially if the joint was in a "hidden" position.

But do they have them in brass?
Me... I use nylon wire ties, but my car is quite unoriginal.

I think I have seen them in alum somewhere.

Now for those not intrested in orginal use a plastic ZIP TIE. Or use a zip tie till you find an orginal item.

Thanks for all of your help. I will measure when I get home, but it looks like that restoration store has what I want in the original brass.
