I recently did a disk brake swap on my '75 and I have a question. The drum brakes have two nuts that hold the brake hose to the frame. The disks have a nut on the brake side and a groove in the portion that goes through the frame bracket. I picked up a couple of pins, sort of hourglass shaped, that I slipped over the bracket and around the hose fitting groove. It seems to work but it looks a little weak. Is there a better standard part or pin that does the trick? I'd love a picture if you have one since this is hard to describe.

Yup, that's it. Do you have any idea what those are called. I'm at the parts store tomorrow and I'd like to get a couple.
