Strapping Coolant Hoses To The Chassis?
 
Whats a good way to strap the coolant hoses to the chassis? I'm thinking something like long cable ties would do the job but will they stand up to the heat and not melt?

I made mounting points on my chassis and fitted U clamps onto them to hold the hose in place (mine run quite close to the exhaust so can't afford for them to wobble about) Zip ties aren't going to melt, but I don't like them.

zip tie will cut into the pipe over time too.

You can get metal 'P' clips with rubber linings that you could use to attached pipes to the chassis using rivnuts.
