A system of wire connectors fixedly secured to a tubular hydraulic brake hose member in a vehicular assembly. In a preferred form, the connectors are uniformly spaced along the tubular member, each connector having a main body portion injection molded to the tubular member. Each connector has a pair of flexible retaining tabs spaced circumferentially apart from one another and extending generally radially of the main body portion. Each pair of tabs defines a generally circular wire receiving opening of a diameter substantially equal to that of the wire member intended to be secured therein. The tabs further define a pair of flexible arms which provide snap-fittable engagement and removal of the wire member with respect to the opening.
