I would like to use the method of securing hoses to each other in the engine compartment using two nylon tie wraps as described in the standard-build manual for the 320/360. I've used cushioned clamps in most places to the engine mount. There are some longer hoses (oil cooler, oil breather, vacuum) that I would like to secure to each other, and it sure would be quicker and easier to use a couple of tie wraps at each intersection instead of the clamps. I remember reading a post not too long ago that stated not to use tie wraps to fasten things to the engine mount (vibrational wear). Does anyone see a problem using the two-tie-wrap technique to fasten hoses together? Thanks for the help.
