Jim -
Another possibility might be a plastic and stainless mouthpiece clip that
ScubaPro makes.  It is intended to be used to make changing the mouthpiece
easier but it is a devil to unlatch.  It only fits a standard sized
mouthpiece, but it is secure and I have yet to see one break.

I have been making links with silicone surgical tubing, fastened to itself
with stainless steel hog rings.  The hog rings will not break, corrode or
come off and the tubing can be cut easily if necessary.  The stainless hog
rings and pliers necessary to crimp them on are used to make up bungee cords
for boat applications.  They are available at marine stores that cater to
sail boaters.

Good diving,
Dale

 I hear tell that there are available mini stainless hose clamps used in 
 the avation industry, some cavers in Fla are using them. I was going to 
 surf the web and see if I can find a source.
