- Cable ties come in four common cross-sections: 2.5 × 1.0, 3.6 × 1.2, 4.8 × 1.3 and 7.6 × 1.8 mm.
- The file is the common 4.8 × 1.3 mm strap as a straight 200 × 4.8 × 1.3 mm bar (head not modelled).
- A slot for a tie is drawn at the tie's width, exact.
- On the can engine I use zip ties as hose clamps and to lash frame joints.
