Use of zip ties instead of hose clamps

[Yavor Penchev]

Hi Eric,

Would you be interested in doing a video talking about the application of zip ties and hose clamps on car hoses (fuel pump, fuel filter hoses, brake lines etc). If they can be interchangeable or not and in what cases, propensity for breakage in extreme heat or cold. Just a couple of ideas.

Thank you for your time and for the amazing and detailed work you do.

Thanks for the suggestion. Honestly, there are very few instances where zip ties can be used instead of hose clamps. Power steering rack boots and some vacuum lines are about all I can think of. This is a great suggestion and if an opportunity comes up I’ll see if I can make a video on it.
