A few turns of soft iron wire (the green plastic coated stuff you
use
for garden ties) will sometimes do a better job than a plastic tie.

Indeed, that was the standard way of retaining BMC / BL CV boots if
the OE 'clip' was not available, any other clip would foul the hub
knuckle casting. Most people used engineering locking wire.
