I think there's some pic's of how Todd did his in his build thread. If I remember right he used Adel clamps. I've seen them with just wire ties a lot of time too.

If you go to NAPA we sell a Rubber coated clamp all differant sizes. I used them for my fuel line they have a tab for a screw or bolt for mounting. I forget exactly what they are called but tell your NAPA sales person they are in NAPA Wire or Beldon Lines they should have them in stock these are great for mountinng just about anything from electrical wire to brake lines to a stationary object.

Somethimes the adel clamps are called cushion clamps and I was told to use a #10 machine screw and drill and tap the tube.
