I use these ties, their stainless electrician's use them for fire alarm cables. You can pick them up in any sparkys merchent for 15 quid for a 100. Dont buy them from a motorsport company as they will rinse you, ive seen them for a quid each from merlin or someone

I’m pretty sure that Magma wrap from RCM or DEI is the same stuff, both very good, I use lockwire to secure it
