Extra large clamps padded with a slit piece of larger diameter hose or
pipe insulation? Auto engines often sport light weight metal brackets
set at odd places on misc engine bolts just to hold hoses and wires
firmly. You could use a hose clamp to hold the hose w/pad against the
flat side of a custom bracket.

Hi,
I'm adding domestic hot-water heating to my new engine and it calls for
the 5/8" hoses to go from the front of the engine down and around to the
back. Normally I'd use cable-ties to hold the hoses in place, but wouldn't
the engine get too hot for the plastic? Should I use wire? Are there
things made specifically for this?

I'm concerned the vibration of the engine will eventually wear through
the hoses...
