Irv, Aeroquip (probably other manufacturers, too) now offer high-helix
spiral isolators that seem to be made of nylon and can be installed with
the hose in place. Very clean and neat. Only proviso is that one has to
make sure the isolator is positioned properly so that the isolator
actually meets the contact points. Not preferable to proper padded
clips, but, still, a pretty good alternative to tearing things down, and
very useful where there's a tangle of hoses contacting each other.
Cheers.
