Anyone know of brake line brackets for coil-overs?

Hello,

I have a set of coil-overs for my FD. Like most coil-over kits, there are no brake line brackets for the front dampers. As a result, the lines just hang out there. Some companies recommend zip-tying the lines to the damper bodies, but I was looking for something a bit more elegant.

The Megan coil-overs had a brake line bracket that clamped around the damper body. But they never seemed interested in selling one to me. You can see the brackets below:



The are on the left. Ohlins uses a similar setup on their FD coil overs:



You can see the brake line bracket that's clamped to the body of the damper on the left.

So I'm hoping someone else has a source for these things.

Well, I've got my hands full with a million other projects, I'd really just like to buy something off the shelf.

Cut the brackets off an old set of dampers, weld a flange onto them and then use a hose clamp around the damper body to hold them in place.
