Need Help Mounting Return Line
I'll be starting a clutch swap soon and while I'm at it, I'm going to route -6AN braided line to eventually install a return system. I've heard horror stories about the braided lines sawing through things and I'm trying to convince myself what the safest way to mount the line is. Before anyone suggests it, I would prefer to run it with the feed line and not through the rocker panel.
Will zip ties suffice? Something like this or this? What are you guys using?

I ended up going with lengths of split hose where the line is tied to the existing mounts/rails.
I also decided to cross thread one of the 3 holes on the flywheel that the floater plate mounts on...

Will do, thanks. I have to pull the flywheel tonight and assess the damage. I'm hoping I can get the stubborn bolt out without breaking it then just redress the threads with a tap and hope to get 14lb-ft out of it. Otherwise I'm going to have to heli-coil or timesert and have the assembly rebalanced.
