The plastic wire ties work very well.
I have only had trouble with one particular batch of plastic ties I
purchased from somewhere. The ties had a metal piece that gripped and
locked the tie, unfortunately the metal rusted causing loss of the tie.
Another possibility is the metal clamp bands that are used on cars
today. They are used on CV joint boots and on steering rack boots. There
is a specialty took used to clamp and unclamp these bands, but I have used
needle nose pliers with success.
I have stainless steel screw clamps on my steering rack boots.

Tom,
I have had mine on for the last two years and have not had a problem with
them leaking.

Before I fill my rack has anyone had a bad experience with the plastic
wire ties that come with the rack covers from SS? I'm not opposed to using
them, but I would hate to fill it only to find they leak. I did a quick look
for the standard screw type hose clamp, but even the skinny ones seemed a
bit
wide and I would have to had doubled/tripled them up to go around the large
end.
Thanks, Tom Witt B9470101
