I bought a splitcase tranny (serial# A 746864) which I think is a 56.

The axle tubes have the correct shock mounts (no twist on the lower mount) but there are no brackets on the axle tube to hold the junction of the flexible brake line to the solid brake line.

This should have a bracket on each tube, right? Any source of these brackets so they can be welded back on? Is there some other way the brake line junction is supported?

The bracket you're looking for isn't welded on like 1961-later axle tubes. rather they resemble a clamp & are bolted on.

Any one have a source of the brackets or a picture? I've gone through the Bently manual, Samba gallery, Samba classifieds and no detailed enough pictures.

Help?

I would guess that Small Car Connection in Hesperia, CA might have a used one. 760-244-3446 is their number.

Oh, I didnt see he asked for a picture, is this good enough?:

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.



I actually forgot I have this extra one from a replacement axle tube I got you can have it if you like. PM me if you want it.

Anyone know the size of the bolts that secure these brackets to the axle tube?
