Failed MOT Saturday because i used cable ties to attach brake pipes to rear axle. What should i use? I have been looking at the series 2 parts book and they show just one jubilee clip is this correct?

Mine have been attached with cable ties for years.
Yer MOT Tester is a nob head.

Only thing is, the ties can rub / chafe the pipes, so I wrap a 2" length of rubber tubing (split down the side) round the pipe under each cable tie.

There should be a large jubilee clip round the axle, then plates on each spring mount with rubber grommets for the pipes.
Mine's had cable ties for years, find a new MoT man!

What a muppet! I do the same, zip ties witha bit of rubber in between, nothing wrong with that!
