Beetle Brake Hose Clips – Set of 4, Ref 113 611 715 A

These Beetle brake hose clips are the small U-shaped spring clips that hold a flexible brake hose in its bracket on the chassis, sold here as a set of four. The supplier lists them under reference 113 611 715 A and S0127 for the 1974–78 Beetle Convertible, and its application table goes on to cover a long run of classic Volkswagen models. Easy Life Markets offers the set for restorers and mechanics who are renewing brake hoses and do not want to refit rusty, weakened clips.

It is an easy part to overlook. Each flexible hose passes through a bracket where it meets the rigid brake pipe, and the clip slides into a groove on the hose fitting to lock it there. Without a sound clip the hose end can twist or pull when the suspension moves or the steering turns, and that strains the pipe union. On a car that is forty or fifty years old the clips are often rusted thin or missing altogether. For background on the system these parts belong to, see the hydraulic brake article.

Compatibility

The listing title names the 1974–78 Beetle Convertible, front brake hoses. The supplier's application table is wider and reads as follows:

Volkswagen Beetle, 1950–1978, front and rear
Volkswagen Super Beetle, 1971–1979, front and rear
Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, 1956–1974, front and rear
Volkswagen Transporter, 1949–1979, front and rear
Volkswagen Campmobile, 1968–1974, front and rear
Volkswagen Fastback, 1966–1973, front and rear
Volkswagen Squareback, 1966–1974, rear
Volkswagen 411, 1971–1972, front and rear
Volkswagen 412, 1973–1974, front and rear
Volkswagen Standard, 1946–1948, front and rear
Volkswagen Thing (no years given)

That is a very broad list, and the supplier itself notes that its table is based on North American market cars. Some of the earliest years listed pre-date hydraulic brakes on certain models, so use the table as a starting point, not a promise.

How to Make Sure They Suit Your Car

Match the number. Look up your car in a Volkswagen parts catalogue and check that the hose clip is 113 611 715 A.
Compare with an old clip. If one survives on the car, lay it next to the photo. The shape should be the same open U with two legs.
Check the hose. The metal end of your brake hose needs a groove for the clip to sit in, and the bracket on the car needs a slot for the hose end.
Count what you need. A car with four flexible hoses uses four clips, but count the brackets on yours before ordering.

If you are unsure, write to us with the model and year and a photo of the bracket. We will check with the supplier.

When to Replace the Clips

Whenever you fit new flexible brake hoses
If a clip is rusted thin, bent or has lost its spring
If a hose end can be turned or rocked in its bracket by hand
If a clip is missing and the hose has been wired or cable-tied in place
During a restoration, when the brackets are being cleaned and repainted anyway

Fitting Tips

Soak the old clip and union in penetrating oil the day before. Classic brake fittings seize.
Pull the old clip out with pliers or tap it out with a small drift.
Clean the bracket slot with a wire brush so the hose end seats fully.
Push the hose end through the bracket, line up the groove and press the new clip in until it sits flush.
Hold the hose fitting with one spanner while you tighten the pipe union with a flare-nut spanner, so the hose is not left twisted.
Turn the steering from lock to lock and check that no hose rubs or stretches.

The clips themselves are simple to fit, but changing hoses means opening the hydraulic system and bleeding the brakes afterwards. If you have not done that before, have a mechanic who knows older Volkswagens do the work.

Why Small Hardware Matters on an Old Car

A brake hose only does its job if both ends are held still. A loose hose end lets movement reach the rigid pipe, and steel brake pipe does not tolerate being flexed. It work-hardens and eventually cracks at the flare. New clips cost very little next to a set of hoses, and fitting them is the difference between a tidy, lasting repair and one that has to be revisited.

Who These Clips Are For

They are for owners restoring or maintaining classic Volkswagens, for specialist workshops that keep small hardware on hand, and for anyone who has opened a brake job and found the old clips unusable.

Common Questions

Are these genuine Volkswagen parts? No. They are aftermarket clips sold under the reference number 113 611 715 A.

Front or rear? The title says front. The supplier's table lists both front and rear for most models, so compare with your old clip.

Are the hoses included? No, only the four clips.
