Re-Usable clips to attach wiring harness to chassis ??
Evening gents,
What clips do you reccomend to clip the harness to the chassis?
I have seen those ladder type ones which look pretty good & are re-usable too, any thoughts/suggestions?
also where can i buy 
Thanks

I used some velcro strips to hold the loom in place whilst making/fitting it.
Once it was done I used those things Steve has shown you.
Be Warned! They're not that strong and if you yank on the zip tie too hard you can break the plastic bits.
Cheers,
James

I got through bags of those saddle clips and releasable cable ties during my build! They're holding down all sorts of wires, hoses and other
bits and bobs. I found it best to put a blob of TigerSeal under each saddle base and then fix them to the chassis with a rivet.

I should have said, I used some of this type too.
Basically, different ones we suitable for different applications/areas on the car. So I used a mix of these and the first ones I mentioned.
HTH,
James

also remember Mr IVA won't usually be happy with the self adhesive fixings on them. he'll most likely want them riveted or screwed in
