Original clips go brittle and break when old lines are removed, and many restored Split Buses end up with lines held by zip ties. When you replace brake lines, new clips put them back where VW intended. Original-style plastic clips also keep the restoration looking correct under the van, which matters on a judged Split Bus, and they cushion the steel line so it does not rattle against the body. Because the clips are so cheap, it makes sense to buy a handful and replace every one you find cracked, faded or missing while the van is up on stands for brake work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoute the brake line along its original path before fitting clips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress the line into the clip without kinking it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace every brittle or broken clip along the run, not just the obvious one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure lines clear exhaust, moving suspension and sharp edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBleed and test the brakes after any brake-line work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe do not publish torque values here; use the factory workshop manual for your vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the JP-8318-0 fit my 1964 Split Bus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
