They are not regular zip ties and the reason you can NOT use regular
zip ties is there is very little to zip tie the hose to. If you took
the time to look at the pictures you would see the slot. The
corresponding posts they hook to are built into the floor pan. I
don't have a problem making a work around I'm just hopping someone on
the list might be more skilled then I at using EKTA.
