It happens that :::Jerry:::: formulated :
Are you talking about IE hits or cheap after market kits, I have never
seen Jubilee clips in any kit (OE or AM), most of the AM kits I've
worked with had cable ties if they didn't have OE style clips. Care to
name a make / supplier ?

It is rather a long time since I last needed to replace one, but from
memory they used a thinner than your normal Jubilee clip... Probably to
avoiding the fouling you mention.
