Strength is one thing, whether can stand the heat etc., is another....i found old cable ties at my home, similar to TS one but black in color.
the plastic bag got write the specification of the cable ties.
mine i think 8.2kg minimum tensile strengh ( i think so because the paper torn out dy)
i can't break it off
maybe u can find better strenght one.
vr2 : can one la. The only thing is like what Joe said - you need to use good quality cable ties. Mine actually snapped a few under the braking pressure exerted on the hose. The expansion was enough to break the cable ties!
How many cable ties per side you did on your car?
Maybe better lar...daiso...RM5 hahaYou use RM2 for 100 ones......hahahahaha
That depends how long your brake hose too....
haha i knw..i just wana have a feel on how many ties he used for his car..i've seen how long is wira's brake hose before lol

pls do make sure your hoses are in good condition.
happen to me on my old ride, bought it used but nvr change the hose then i did this.
those places covered with cable ties will not expand much, forcing the pressure to those without cable ties, if it old and hard it will burst at those area and caused leak.
its a good diy, just make sure all hoses in good condition, replace it before doing this if its too old
brake hoses are suppose to be change anyway as 1 of the maintainance
