Default Clips to hold wire along metal edge???

I am in the middle of wiring my panel etc...

I want some sort of spring metal clip that I can push on the back edge of the sub panel the will hold some of the wires in place and protect them from the panel edge. I could drill holes and use Adel clamps, but there must be an easier way.

Anybody know of such a device???


Thanks,
Duane

Duane,
Drill the holes and use adel clamps. There's a chance of spring clips coming loose and letting the wires sagg. Then they would be subject to getting tangled with something.

Of course Mel is right, but you really should expand that thinking and always keep in mind that anything attached anywhere on an airplane is going to be under different stresses and loads than when it sits in your garage while building.

All attachments must be secure beyond just the point of neatness if everything you attach to somewhere on the airframe MUST stay attached while put to G stresses and bumps of flight.
