How to secure braided fuel lines?

Like the title says just wondering how you guys are securing braided fuel like to the frame? I figure there might be some different options...
Please post pics if you have them and links where to purchase?
Thanks

P-clips for everything...braided fuel line, hard fuel line, brake line, battery cables....

Re: How to secure braided fuel lines?

Where are you guys picking up Adel and P clips (pretty sure they are the same thing)?
Local parts/hardware stores or from summit (or someplace similar)?
Thanks

Re: How to secure braided fuel lines?

I bought my last ones at Home Depot. Insulated cable clamps. I needed a size I didn't already have and was surprised to find them there.

Re: How to secure braided fuel lines?

I got most of mine from summit...the aluminum, rubber insulated ones. They're ok for light duty....when I need some that are heavy duty, made from steel, the CAT dealer has anything you want. Ladder clips work well too, depending on where/what you're mounting.

Re: How to secure braided fuel lines?

Those insulated clamps are the way to go. Braided line will rub through steel like a file.
