Anyone know where I can buy some of these little dudes? They're typically found on motorcycles... super flexible and usually used to hold wiring/tubing in place.. I don't know what to call them to search them up, but surely they're easily found once I know what they're called.. any ideas?

Thanks :cheers:

If you don't need the "variability" that those seem to give you by having a slot in the middle, there are vinyl coated "P Clamps" that are appropriate for a given diameter of tube or cable.

I'm having trouble finding ones that look exactly like those, though.

Have you tried mcmastercarr.com? I feel like I saw something similar on there.

Those pieces have seen decreasing use since the invention of tie wraps.

I think those that Matt showed are spring steel. The ones you want to use are dead soft so they can be easily bent to shape around the cables.
