voyagerX Has anyone tried or used those stainless steel zip ties or heavy duty zip ties instead of hose clamps for the orca? These are .5" and say that they can tension up to 485lbs : "Kable Kontrol Metal Zip Ties" Part Number SSCT-485-27
voyagerX hoffmantactical Are there any concerns about compressive force? I assume its mainly the clips holding everything together, and the hose clamp holds the clips in place.
hoffmantactical Yes, and shear. The hose clamps hold the clips in place, and resist shear at the joint.
