Required Quantity
- Porsche 911 1970–73: 4 retaining springs in the brake hydraulic assembly.
- Porsche 911 1974–77 without brake booster: 4 retaining springs in the brake-line assembly.

What Is This Part?
This is the retaining spring used at a brake hose mounting point. The hose end fitting sits in a bracket, and the clip keeps it seated there while the flexible hose accommodates movement. It forms part of the hose mounting arrangement alongside the bracket and connected rigid brake pipe. Its role is mechanical retention; the hydraulic connection itself must also be correctly assembled and checked.
What Does This Part Do?
- Retains the hose fitting: Keeps the end fitting seated in its mounting bracket.
- Restrains unwanted movement: Helps prevent the fitting moving out of its supported position.
- Completes the mounting arrangement: Works with the bracket to secure the hose at the connection to the rigid brake pipe.
Why Replace This Part?
Replace the clip if inspection finds significant corrosion, cracking, distortion or a loss of grip that prevents it retaining the fitting correctly. Damage during removal can also leave a clip unsuitable for refitting. A new clip should be considered on its condition, rather than automatically replaced whenever other brake components are serviced.
If the hose fitting is loose, inspect the bracket and fitting as well as the clip. Worn or damaged supporting parts may prevent secure seating even with replacement retaining hardware.
When to Replace This Part?
- Corrosion: Heavy rust or material loss has weakened the clip.
- Visible damage: The clip is bent, cracked or distorted.
- Poor retention: The clip no longer holds the fitting securely after the mounting arrangement has been checked.
- Missing hardware: The correct retaining clip is absent from a mounting point.
- Removal damage: Inspection during hose replacement shows that the existing clip cannot be refitted securely.
Where Is This Part Fitted?
Location: At the brake hose end fitting where it is retained in a mounting bracket beside the rigid brake pipe connection. Applicable Porsche 911 installations include front and rear brake-line assemblies; the exact mounting points depend on the vehicle.
