Sorry Mike, I mis-understood and got a pitot tube routing question I was answering mixed up with this one. Gotta love getting older.........

I have found that the cable tie mounts work quite well if you remove the double sided tape and substitute a dab of shoe goo/E5000 adhesive.

I used a couple of the square nylon ty-wrap bases, but drilled a #30 hole and used a pulled rivet to make sure they stay where I put 'em. Cheaper and lighter than an adel, screw and nut.

Edit: Actually, I just thought about it... I didn't even drill the hole where I did this, there was a convenient unused #30 rivet or tooling hole that just happened to be in the spot where I needed it.

The sticky back nylon squares will fall off much sooner if the aluminum surface is not first cleaned with solvent.
