My clamps on my f1 were removed when the frame was painted i am ready to install new clamps and don't know which holes in the frame to use. Does anyone have pictures or a drawing showing the clamp positions?

Any picture of brake lines attached on the frame would be greatly appreciated.

You have one on each side on the front, one under the the front cross member, and two down the drivers side frame rail for the rear (I used three), take your pick on top or bottom holes depending on where you bend the lines, concourse is 5/16-24 3/4" in s-7 and matching locks/nuts which Roy has holding them in the rails.

The rear line itself has one on the pumpkin similar to the front cross member and two on the axle housing line the frame rails, held by 5/16-24 1/2" in s7 with matching locks, Roy has those also.

where did you get the clamps ?

I think the clips that Mac's sells are pretty close.

I used some clips from earlier models that had 1/4" lines. I flattened out the clip to accept 3/16" line and it works fine. I think the Mac's clips are push in spring steel clips and a bit pricey.

They list some on eBay that look just like the original truck clips. I started to buy one to confirm but would never pay $15 to ship a brake line clip.
