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.

8.2kg is pretty good considering we need a lot of them in one hose.

Eh...just wondering if we can use those hose clamps... they come in all sizes and uses a flat head to screw tight, of course not too tight but enough to fill the hose length. Its not free but steel "sleeved"...

Or very very strong duct tape?

Duct tape will still expand with the hose...has to be something rigid

Yeah.. definately can.. but those things are like.. RM 2 per piece? After installing both side.. almost the price of SS Braided Hose already leh..

 

[PocketRocket]

Yeah that so true...imagine need how many for 4 sides...lol! Nvm..just brainstorming

Btw, You can see the hose clamps in my siggy, at my return valve hose from the air filter.

You probably could if the hose was straight. But since 99% of the time it's bendy, clamps won't be able to handle the bends. The cable tie technique has to be evenly spaced out so the same concept applies for clamps. If you can't - then better don't. Otherwise you'll get a lot of pressure on the un-reinforced side of the hose.
