My Malibu is 35 years old and the brake line clips are still working just fine. Replacement 10-packs are reasonably priced; for now, that looks like the optimal solution.
Hey TRX...
Trying to picture these. Got any visual helpers?
In the commercial kitchen industry (among others), harness and tubing get held with pop-thru and/or sticky back zip-tie mounts. Everyone knows the sticky back. Here's the pops...
They're used in current auto applications and get brittle only after years of road exposure (got 150k on mine before they started to show age).
Despite the accessibility and mentality that goes with a Locost though, I don't know that I'd trust either of them to a brake line or other vibration/movement prone application, so I'm really curious as to what your describing.
FWIW - I know they are used a lot, but you hit it right with Adel Clips. They have always worried me for use in "clamping" automotive applications. Even my brother who is an airframer in the Navy shys away from them in auto use!
