Where can I find this brake part?

Since I don't know what it's called and I can't find it in RealOEM, can anyone tell me what the bracket (red arrow) that mounts to the strut is called and where I might be able to find one? Some PO cut a notch out of it and out of the mount on the wheel well arch (two red circles) for some reason?!

 

thx!

Mark

You need at least 1 of # 3 as well, Spring retainer clip 34341163565. best to get 2.

That would deal with the lines on the strut assembly.

Zoomed in on your upper circle. Thats not good.

Your brake hose looks wet. Recommend you check the metal brake line where it appears to be chafing against that jagged ass cut out. Probably have a pinhole in it.

That upper line is more challenging, pretty sure that angle securing the brake lines is welded to the body and yours has been molested/cut out for some reason.

I would deal with that by bending a bit of sheet steel into an angle, drill a hole for the brake line like the others and attach to what lefts of  that flange and the wheel well with pop rivets. Need to do something there for sure.

Sorry - should have mentioned that this was all in a state of partial disassembly. I had already liberally soaked the fittings with PB Blaster and cracked the fittings loose when I took this picture. I'm replacing all the brake lines while I have the vacuum booster out. I found about a 1/3rd a cup of brake fluid in the booster while tracing a brake leak.

 

I'm swapping in a Tii booster and master cylinder as I work towards installing dual 40 DCOEs!

Wow - thanks John. Your eyes are much better than mine. I didn't notice the 4 and didn't see a line pointing at the bracket. MANY THANKS!!
