Hi guys,

Here is what i want to buy but don't know its name so have been trying for few hours to find it using different keywords with no luck

There are those hard rubbers that have a cut in the middle which you can open and snap it on pipe or something which can then act as protective cover or even coupling or holding two things together

I need it to i can hold my two braided lines together rather than using cable tie

Also need it so can cover part of the metal which the line robs against

I hope this makes sense

I'd call it cable conduit.

Just buy some coloured silicone hose to protect and areas that rub,just cut a slit down or use scissors to slit,
adds a splash of colour if thats your thing.

I'd suggest using shrink tube if you want to hold your braided lines together.

Ideally you wouldn't want them rubbing against metal at all. I use stainless P-clips to route them properly.

And cable separator blocks to tandem them:

Yep got the p clips but prefer something like the cable conduct

I think the metal or wire seperatir will rub against fork and scratch the tube

....because rubber won't rub them either. Neutral

Route so they are safe from fouling the tubes.

also the pipe passes through a metal hook , should I use some tape around the hook so any friction between the pipe and the hook won't wear the pipe ?

I have seen these rubber material that have a slice in middle which you can open and snap it onto a pipe so many times in cars but just don't know its name .

Can you give a specific make/model of car and where exactly they are used?
I have access to a few car parts catalogues so could look up a part/image which may help identify what they are called. At the moment, I can only picture the type of items that others have already suggested. Thinking
