Scott-
For what it's work Kim about 6 emails before this also said he has
looked for them without any luck. So now you've heard of TWO people
in the same day. I guess it more surprising to me that more people on
the list haven't seen them. I would have thought there is less of the
vis-grip, duck tape type people on the list.. . . 90% of the people
who emailed me about these tie wraps all said just zip tire the new
5/8th heater hose to other hoses. I don't tend to do things like
that. But I don't tend to spend much time on the side of the road. :-)

This could be one of them. I've never heard of anyone wanting these
particular zip ties before.

They are not regular zip ties and the reason you can NOT use regular
zip ties is there is very little to zip tie the hose to. If you took
the time to look at the pictures you would see the slot. The
corresponding posts they hook to are built into the floor pan. I
don't have a problem making a work around I'm just hopping someone on
the list might be more skilled then I at using EKTA.
