Rear Brake Line Tab

[brett at ataxxia.com (Brett Van Sprewenburg)]

I think the tab it there as a stand-off to keep the line away from a  
moving part (the beam does move / turn).

Maybe you should consider finding some other way to isolate the line  
- as for the c-type clip, If I remember right, it hooks behind the  
"nut", probably keeping tension on it at the junction as a mild-force  
retainer (to resist it becoming loose).  I didn't say it would  
happen, just a thought as to what it's there to possibly prevent.
