Been searching for a while and haven’t really run across what I’m after (although it’s been many trips down memory lane with some searches). I swear there’s some thread on here about plumbing brake lines which is my next project for my “Jeep”. Couldn’t find it after an hour or so. I’m looking to change up my brake plumbing pretty significantly over the next couple weeks (I need to quit spending $ on my F350) and was just trying to find some cool clamps to run the hard line down my upper control arms. The way I see it, there are a few options for plumbing and their required clamps. Hopefully I’ve missed a few methods (that’s the point of the thread) and someone will have a betterer idea than I’ve puked out in this post.
Adel clamps:
essy to get a hold of at the local hardware store. I haven’t had a failure on the few of those I’m using on my “Jeep”. I like how they mount to a flat surface. My control arms are round. I could weld some angle to the arm and mount the adel cleanly but I’m thinking there’s got to be a cooler way?
these look cool and could be used on almost any level of rig. Even less ideal to mount to round tube.

These are Helix style (at least per the interwebs). Not ideal for round tube but I think it could work for round mounting with a little bending? I like the rubber of the above two but lines have mounted without rubber for as long as they’ve made cars.
not the greatest pic, but a stock GM weld on clamp from the mid-80s on my 14 bolt. Not sure where to source these but not to hard to cutout/weld on from scrap in your garage.
What other solutions have people found and used with good success?
