M20E Brake Line Wraplock

[Bob K]

I purchased new stratoflex brake lines from a reputable hose shop to replace my 30+ year-old lines. There are two locations along the landing gear where the brake line is secured with "wraplock" to the stucture (see attached photos). This clamping material appears to be no longer in production. Anyone care to share how they are securing their line in lieu of "wraplock"? Any feedback is much-appreciated.

I'm sure some will say "got to have an 8130" but this looks like a "standard fastener" to me:

or something from McMaster-Carr:

and maybe one of these:

A couple mated cushioned adel clamps would probably do it.

Harbor Freight has those wrap locks. At least they did a few years ago. I just looked and they don't list the twist type like Mooney used. But there are a lot of the new type of stainless steel ties. Which Harbor Freight carries.

Whatever you do, you should swing the gear and make sure nothing binds or hangs up.

BTW, you can find friction tape in the plumbing and electrical departments at Home Depot.

Search for Hanler Corporation. They made WrapLocks they are out of business.

I was able to locate the original Wraplock material and tool kit on eBay. It is quite a simple and effective method of clamping. Works great and last long time.

Thank you all for the input.

Nice!   I noticed the advanced methodology used by whoever last did mine so took a pic:

Those landing gear steel members could use some love.  Inspection, bead blasting and painting.  A MSC did that to the legs on our C and they were not nearly as corroded as these.
