A bit over kill isn't it?
The bracket just holds the hose so won't get rubbed by a wheel etc. You has to use a wrench once the nylon part hits the threads right? then even if nyloc got bit loose, won't back off. Most OE Rivets aren't very tight after years of beating.

Well, it has been said that I have a habit to overdo things at times. I wanted to make sure I did not get a loose bolt running amok in my wheel area and puncturing the tire, or blowing a brake hose if the retainer came loose. I figured I would take everyone's suggestion and combine to make a decent fix. I would have rather used a rivet, but I was not able to procure one of that size at the time. I like the peace of mind, and in this case, it should be a no harm decision.[This message has been edited by lurtz (edited 06-22-2020).]
