There are two basic kinds of zip ties. The ones we don't trust are the ones
everybody knows. The other kind that might pass has two inter-locking
flanges. That is, rather than end-through-the-loop it's got serrated grips.
My experience with these indicates they're more reliable. Any opinions? 

At any rate, stainless hose clamps are found wherever marine supplies are
sold. Just make sure you don't over-tighten the hose clamp -- you've got
enough torque to crush the BC's plastic flange. A loop of inner tube beneath
the clamp ensures that it doesn't pinch or gouge into the hose.

regards

Hans
