Missing brake line adapter for Stillen RSB

I bought the Stillen RSB used from ispeed and he claims it didn't come with the brake line adapter standoff and new bolt. So my choices are to call Stillen and buy the missing parts from them, or install the RSB and use tie-wraps to bind the brake line to the lower arm. Is this safe to do? Anyone else do this?

This is a picture from Paul's how-to:



I assume the missing parts are the standoff and bolt under the metal bracket surrounding the brake line itself.

It's the emergency brake line, which I don't use often (automatic).

Don't just use a tie-wraps. You'll damage your brake line over time. Go to a hardware store such as the Orchard Supply hardware, Pep Boys, etc and get the spacers 1/4" internal diameter and 1" long and M6 bolts 35mm long. Don't buy from Stillen. They'll usually try to rip you off. Check out Greg's website
