zip tie them to the k-member. That's the way they're done on all the tubular k-members for our cars.

well i called pro fab and they said the same thing and i told that shop and they said no cause the vibration or somethin just lettin the brake line hang there could bust or some **** but anyways they said they cant let the car leave the shop without the brackets so now pro fab is makin me brackets.....they said pro fab must be losin alot of customers cause lettin the brake line just hang there is dangerous and if it busts i could kill myself or others around me...

Dang that's the pits... About somebody running into you, and the car sitting so long too.

But that is pretty cool that pro fab is making some brackets for you!

I zip tied mine when I did the LS1 swap in July/August... BMR, but same concept, as far as the brake lines go. I did keep those pieces where the metal lines turn into rubber lines, those bolted on to the k-member. Everything else is zip tied, with the line shielded by the k-member wherever possible.
