Brake lines should never be covered by anything except paint. If covered
they can't be inspected. All they original clamps are still available at the
dealer and they are not that expensive. Small dabs of silicone or other
glues can also be used to isolate and secure brake lines.

Hmmm.... interesting idea.

Thanks. Will give it some thought.

I really should suss out some of those Vanagon brake line holding

FLAPS.
