I have some exhaust hose/components on my boat which were secured using
soft steel strapping. Obviously that hasn't held up too well. I'm looking
for 1/2" or 3/4" perforated stainless steel strapping. My on-line searches
haven't found anything. Does anyone know of a source?

I've hammered flat and drilled scraps of thin-wall tubing to improvise this
sort of thing. Ugly but effective.

"Wrap lok"sp comes in ss although it is not perforated. I believe it is
not too $$ for stainless.

There are kits of 1/2" wide stainless steel 'hose' straps that are 20'
or so in length. So it doesn't have round holes - slotted holes are
perforated.

I bought mine from MSCdirect.com

Another is to plasma cut a bunch of holes then the strip.

You might check with a plumbing supply house -- I've got to think *somebody*
makes SS pipe strap.

McMaster sells 302 stainless strapping. It's not perforated, though.

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

Buy the unperfed strap, use a hand punch to add the holes,
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=44060
$18 plus there is a 15% off coupon in the current sale flyer.

McMaster has a heavy duty version for around $50 or so

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