Default rear crossover brake line clips

Going to be installing my rear crossover brake line shortly. The old line that I took off had only two clips on it. The AIM appears to show a third middle clip that is different than the standard u shaped clip that goes around the both sides of the brake lines. Is there a center clip that mounts near the differential snubber bracket and is this clip different than the rest of them?

Default Brake Line Clip

See Pic below.

This is the clip in the middle by the snubber.




Kind Regards,


Bill

Hi,
As tooch's photo shows the center line clip is a small stamped part, but not made from spring steel like typical fuel and brake line clips.
I've seen 2 different 'marks' on the clip.
Regards,
Alan



The other 2 clips for that line are marked in an unusual way too.

crossover line is in. I had that clip in the kit that I bought a while back. It doesn't have the markings but it is the correct type. I used all new clips from the kit on the fuel lines and main brake lines. I found some of the original GM clips were in good shape so I cleaned and used two of them on the crossover line. They are not unpainted natural as they were originally. I removed the rust and gave them a coat of Eastwood black oxide paint. I left the center clip natural.
