There is a lot of heat back there with the exhaust so close so I'm wondering if plastic zip ties may just soften and come off. Anyway, despite the expense so long ago it really doesn't matter.

Zip Ties will work to get you out of being stranded. I had put two on there as a temp band-aid and they held ok for quite a while...when the cable finally let go again, I went down and looked and the zipties were no where to be found...so, at some point, they definitely worked their way off, or snapped.

I have some regular cheap plastic zip ties on my 914 e-brake cables and they are inches away from the exhaust. They have held up great after several years. Very surprising!
