I’m swapping the struts/brakes from a 75 Carrera to a 75 914.
The hole that the rubber brake line at the strut end doesn’t seem to be large enough to support my existing rubber brake line. Also, there looks to be two different support clips. Could someone educate me to the difference and what I should be using to connect my brake lines to a 1975 strut. Attached thumbnail(s)

The hole size should be the same in both struts. the type of hardware needs to match the rubber line type. both should use the later U shaped clips.

73-76 use this clip, It is thin, early cars and 914-6 use thick one

When I put some 911 brake parts on my 74 914, I found the hole on the strut to be too small. Some finetinkering with a dermal tool enlarged the hole. Probably not best way but it worked.

^^^ This!
I contacted Eric Shea at PMB and he set me up with the correct lines for my conversion (3" strut in my case). |
