I thought I read a thread about fixing the retainer for the crossover brake line, but I can’t find it. My retainer is not holding the brake line like it was designed - see pics.

Is the solution to purchase a new retainer or is there some other way?

Thank you.

Hi NGA! My way of resolving this issue was to insert the break line holder back in and loop small zip tie thru it under the fender. Hope this helps. Sorry no pics.

The quickest and simplest would be to replace it.
If you want to remove the fender, and the ears on the retainer pin are in good shape you can add a small washer to the inside of the fender. It tightens the retainer a bit but still allows it to pivot.

You have to be careful with the retainer mine brock when I bottomed out the suspension and the brake line ended up under the fender and locked up the front wheel. I ended up tie wiring it to the down line.
