Update
Seems slow around here so here's some pics and an update. Decided not to run my lines in center channel. They'll go up to center console and fuel valve from where they exit from front seat support. Took an idea from John Austin about shaping a washer to fit in the corner of upright support and longeron, then sandwiched with a full size washer. ..sturdy. I have some adel clamps ordered but I'm impressed with the zip tie holders...They stick!! Package claims 40lbs of holding force! Used speed seal fittings with speed flex hose from Earl's for fuel line Also got motor mounts installed :) Oh and picked up an engine too! O-235 :)

I've found that they can come loose over time also. I started using these type, and don't seem to have the problem of coming loose, though it could be because I use MEK to remove oils, etc. One big reason I like these is in areas where I really don't want them to come loose I put a rivet in the corner which I couldn't with the zip tie type.

They do stick very well, but over time I've seen where they come loose. I've repaired machinery, and when I pulled the covers off many of them were no longer attached.
