Question Axle tube brake line tabs alternative

Well it seems I am down to one brake line tab to hold the brake line against the rear axle tube.

Since I do not have access to a welder or welding skills. Is there an alternative to hold the brake line in place instead of using the weld on tabs?

could use a dab of silicone to hold the line and the tab in place.

I was thinking of this as well, but was not sure if the silicone would adhere properly and be durable enough...

Panel adhesive like used in the body shops. Might as well be welded.

X2. Very stong stuff and often called structural adhesive. If you do this, make sure you clean everything as instructed which may also include a little coarse sanding on the areas being bonded.
