Nope, they're also called tie wraps here. Depends on what part of the country and what industry you're in. O_o

Thanks Easy for the clarification. Was in a hurry when I typed in the reply. My next project will be an electronic flasher in the Vstrom.

Wow, they are also called "tie wraps" hunh? I have never heard that - always heard 'em called zip ties. I wonder if maybe it is an 'east of the mississippi' thing...?

Nope ! I'll just go with my harmless dumb old guy routine. Could be fun.
