    Ed,
        Those tie wraps are a wonderful invention.  While not the most elegant     in appearance, they certainly meet all the other criteria: fast,     cheap, and functional.  They hold up well in the engine compartment     even close to exhaust stacks.  Tie wraps that are close to exhaust     system components (on the order of 3 to 4 in.) will yellow and become     brittle over time, but I have never seen this lead to a failure in 200     hours of operation.
