Randy,
Nice job!
I attached the support clip to the upper control arm the same way you did,
however, didn't wrap the line; that will be done!
One thing important with braided SS brake lines (or rubber ones too) they
should not be twisted when installed. To do that install and tighten the
fittings in the caliper first, then mount the clip and put the line in it
and finally install and tighten the end where the flex line connects to the
hard line.
When you've finished the install turn the wheel full left and full right and
make sure the lines are not being "stretched," "compressed," or kinked.
