Default rubber fuel line protection

A year or so ago I remember a fuel line discussion where someone posted a pic or link to a way to secure a pair of rubber fuel lines to each other. Ít was in reply to someone who posted a shot of their lines tied together with zip ties which is a no go. I have searched but cannot find these things, am probably using the wrong seach terms. Any help appreciated.
Thanks. Brad

Those are nice looking, but kinda expensive. If you want good function for a low price, use 2 zip ties. Once goes around the two hose (or cables), and the other goes between then, at a 90* angle to the first. Doesn't look as good, but really cheap and easy.

I've seen plug wires done this way as well. It does not look half bad if you keep the "zip" part of the tie out of sight and trim them well.
