I've found unperforated SS strapping at reasonable prices, but I was hoping
to find perforated. I suppose that I could use unperforated.

And then get a smaller punch and punch the punchings, and you've got a nice
supply of washers! :-)

Easier to turn unperfed into perfed than to turn mild steel into stainless.

On my last boat we used 1" and 2" nylon webbing. Very kind to the
soft exhaust hoses and easy to install. Just heat an awl to melt a
hole for a screw where you want it. Wrap the webbing 1 turn around
the hose so the hose can't move fore/aft. Never a chafe problem
