A holding member (,) for holding a pipe (P), and a mounting member (,) for fixing the pipe (P) to a body panel (B) are previously connected together by a thin connecting portion (,). The holding member (,) and the mounting member (,) in the integrated state are set in a forming die. The connecting portion (,) is collapsed with the closing of such the die that the holding member (,) and the mounting member (,) are separated from each other. A coupling member (,) is formed in this state. Accordingly, the working efficiency can be improved as compared with the case where the holding member and the mounting member are individually set in the die. The holding member (,) and the mounting member (,) are coupled together by the coupling member (,). Since the coupling member (,) is formed of a rubber material, vibration caused in the pipe (P) can be prevented from being transferred to the body panel.

Matching mounting holes 25 and 85 are bored into the shoe web 22 of one brake shoe 20 and the base end 81 of the temperature sensor 80 respectively, and a clip is inserted through both holes, thereby biasing the temperature sensor in the direction towards the surface of the shoe web and into the detector hole 24, and elastically affixing the temperature sensor to the shoe web. This enables simple insertion and removal of the temperature sensor and regulates the blind movement of the temperature sensor in an automatic shoe clearance adjustment device.
