Maybe I'm using the wrong words to describe these things.  They are
typically nylon, and are used to secure wires to harness points under
dashboards and the like.

No rusting possible, and I get ones which are 3/16 - 1/4 wide (usually 10 -
12 inches long) to get enough gripping force.  I've worried they would come
loose, but I've had some on a sprayskirt bungee for two years.
