Pics of how to route and fasten lines to frame?
 
I can't figure out the best method of routing the lines and making them pretty. It would be nice if there was a "modular" tubing clamp so that you could set up the clips along the frame rail and choose which size to install in which spot. Leading to the rear I'll have 3/8" air tubing, stainless brake line, fuel supply and return lines, and of course the wires for the rear tail lights. Either I don't know the terminology to search for, or nothing exists (...and I don't believe that would be possible).

It would be nice to see how others have routed their lines to keep everything tidy, secure, and cosmetically pleasing.

Ford trucks have what you may be looking for. Plastic holders that will retain (I think) 3-4 lines or a harness

Thanks for the link. Yes, those will work great. I’d prefer a clamp that will hold multiple line to lessen the amount of fastening points but if I can think find anything like that I’ll purchase that exact kit you referenced.

Have you decided on the method to fasten those? I don’t want to use screws because I’d have sharp points pok8ng out everywhere. That leaves a bunch of short stainless nuts and bolts. If that’s what’s necessary then that’s what I’ll do but it will require lots of drilling and lots of nut/bolt work.

10 24 machine screws with nyloc nuts all SS. Put some white grease between the rubber and lines to stop rust. Split loom with SS trailer wire clips on the opposite side

I was planning something just like Metaldoc. Clean, simple, and affordable.

LMC sells the Notchead fastening system now. I just received an email from them probably yesterday about this specifically.

Made4You Products makes similar clamps and kits. I've used them in the past with good luck and they're made in the USA. You can order them direct or through Summit.

I use those same rubber insulated fuel line clamps. I just used one hole and I had one going in each Direction so that you could hold two lines with one bolt.

Here is a better picture of two lines running parallel to each other

Should never run fuel and electrical together. If the electrical shorts you got a big fire.

That's exactly how we secure wire and tubing runs on airplanes.
