A device for securing a hydraulic modulator to a vehicle includes a base for receiving a portion of the hydraulic modulator and a clamp movably connected to the base and movable between a first position, wherein the portion of the hydraulic modulator can be positioned on the base, and a second position, wherein the clamp is closed over the base to secure the portion of the hydraulic modulator to the base. The clamp includes a projection that extends over the base when the clamp is in the first position so that when the projection is engaged by the portion of the hydraulic modulator, the projection will automatically move the clamp from the first position toward the second position. In one aspect of the invention, the clamp is hinged to the base.

A damper unit in which a structural volume of the unit is reduced. The hydraulic unit includes a damper chamber formed by a stepped bore. A diameter-to-length ratio of the chamber is between 1:3 and 1:12. A closure element of the damper chamber is received with radial pressure in the bore and is retained on the discharge end by an embossed connection. The smaller-diameter portion of the damper chamber bore, when the hydraulic unit is in the position for use, is offset eccentrically upward from the larger-diameter bore portion with an at least approximately horizontally extending bore axis, so that the jackets of both bore portion merge at least approximately in alignment with one another at at least one point. The damper chamber is of slender design and intended to be disposed in a housing block of the hydraulic unit in a way that economizes on installation space and is intended to be simple to vent. The hydraulic unit is intended for use in slip-controlled motor vehicle brake systems.
