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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho These Clips Are For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these genuine Volkswagen parts?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. They are aftermarket clips sold under the reference number 113 611 715 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront or rear?\u003c\/strong\u003e The title says front.
