I have an ARB rear diff cover on the way and have exhausted several sources for relocation brackets for the stock clips that attach the lines to the oem cover. ARB does not make anything specific for our Broncos. I have a 2022 Big Bend 4 dr 2.7. They do sell a kit for Jeeps and heard they can be modified to work. The two black clips in the pic located at 9 o'clock a 3 o'clock are what I need to attach to the ARB cover. Any advice on what to do or pictures of successfully installs? Thank you!

You might try something like these, or get some stainless, bend to shape, apply rubber coating, no kit needed.

The holed pattern is the same. The bolt head size are the same (cap head vs hex flange head).

The existing plastic clips should work for you.
Or is this a cosmetic issue?
Or did you break them?

Nothing disassembled yet. Want a good workaround before jumping in. Take the cover to home depot and find some parts :)

There's an old thread detailing options for the brake line clips...me thinks it was started by @CarbonSteel

I posted some good information about how to eliminate the plastic Ford clips (which are not available separately--you have to buy the whole brake line so be careful when removing them) here:

Hope this helps!

Good thinking. Those Ford OEM clips suck canal water. I busted one up just changing my diff fluid.

I'll do something like this next time. I have reason to remove diff cover bolts...

I just reused the stock clips when I added the Ford Performance diff. I was a little worried, but they came off easily once the bolts were removed.
