The SPG clip is normally attached using cave line or a zip-tie.
Perhaps you are thinking of the breakaway for the long hose second
stage?

As I recall, JJ's method for securing the long hose second stage
involved a tank O-ring and a zip-tie. The tank O-ring is looped
around the hose in a "figure 8", and then zip-tied to the clip. This
gives it a little "stretch", while still allowing it to be broken
free with a good tug.  Is that what you are thinking of?

The same method could certainly be used for the SPG, but I'm not sure
it's necessary. Under what circumstances would you want an SPG to
"break away"?
