Re: Anchor tabs for interior wiring. Where to get em.

ULine sells cable tie mounts. You would need to buy zip ties separately.

Part number S-12410BL for 3/4" and S-12411BL for 1".

Not the same as what you're looking for but close.

Re: Anchor tabs for interior wiring. Where to get em.

I knew about those kind but I won't even consider them. The zip ties, in time, become so brittle due to dry rot that they will break even with the slightest pressure. They go bad in only one summer. Compared to these original oem anchors, hell, they are still flexible being and they are only 25 years old!

ive worked with those before. I used them to wrap a pipe with a Durolast pipe boot flashing.
The stainless steel straps are used after putting Durolast caulking in between the boot and the pipe. A special wrench is used to tighten the straps. To see the stainless steal strap, follow link and FF to 1:05 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGQ0a...eature=related )

Re: Anchor tabs for interior wiring. Where to get em.

I called "The Parts Place." I asked if they have or if they can take a picture of the item for me and they said no. I asked what happened to Customer Service. His reply was, "This is the customer service that you'll get, Im the owner." So I thanked him with a "chinga tu madre" and hung up.
