welshpug 1,648 Posted May 28, 2008 a Sturdy cable tie is as good as anything if you're stuck, many cheaper kits come with cable ties anyway, never had a problem with any boots I've fitted with cable ties either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris H 10 Posted May 28, 2008 Stainless steel cable ties from Screwfix are perfect for the job and are exactly the same as used on WRC rally cars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted May 28, 2008 i would prefer not to use zip ties, but stainless ones, i like it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 89 Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) they're more or less the same. but i use the metal clips used for fastening exhaust wrap classed as 'locking ties', i bought 4 x 14" long @ £10.29, or 8 x 8" @ £15.92, from 'demon-tweeks' or you could go for 'snap-straps'. the cheapest of them is 6 x 18" @ £20.75 both types are stainless steel Edited May 28, 2008 by jord294 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted May 29, 2008 i would prefer not to use zip ties Why? I'v used cable ties on all of the driveshafts that i'v done and i'v never had a leakage problem with any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted June 1, 2008 thats all good thanks, i have tried cable ties and also managed to get some ties from the dealer but they seemed to leak on the last track day for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
