Where to buy these brake pipe brackets off the shelf?
Discussion
The following pictures show brake pipe brackets that are welded to the chassis and are used to support the joining of 2 brake pipes. One of the brackets welds to the side of the chassis and the other design welds to the top of the chassis. The first two pictures show these brackets on the vehicle and the last picture shows the brackets after they have been removed. Does anyone know where to buy such brackets off the shelf? If anyone has any links I would be very grateful.

That looks like the sort of thing that an OEM would stamp out by the million for a specific model, but not a service item and not the sort of thing I'd expect to get through aftermarket channels. If you need one made up it shouldn't be too hard for anyone with workshop facilities to cut out and fold up.GreenV8S said:

It's from a SSangyoung Korando 1998, but SSangyoung don't sell that part now. I was guessing they must be common on other vehicles as well, so maybe I could order from another manufacturer? Has anyone seen these on other vehicles or anything like it?I know I could get them made up, without too much problem. But they would definitely be more expensive than off the shelf. I could even make them up myself, but have very limited tooling here. It's 3mm plate, so would be hard to bend. Plus I don't have a welder and would need some sort of broaching tool to make the hex bit.

unless its some kind of museum quality resoration why not secure them with P clips and self taping screws , stainless ones if you want to be posh
To be fair I hate drilling into the vehicle, especially the chassis (plus do the regs even allow drilling into the chassis?). I think in time it only causes more problem with rust. Would rather have a weld on bracket.have a look here http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/braking-and-...

I find it hard to believe that any country would legislate against drilling holes since it's not a significant safety issue, something that people routinely need to do and almost impossible to test for. I don't know what country you're in, but if you think there might be legal restrictions on what you can do to your car then I suggest you find out for certain rather than plan based on guesses/assumptions. To be honest I'd have thought that modified or improperly secured brake lines were far more likely to be a safety issue and regulations are more likely to focus on that sort of thing.As far as rust goes - welding is going to do far more damage to the anti-corrosion protection than a small drilled hole but neither of them should be a problem as long as you re-protect the surface afterwards.
