RuffStuff also has what they call Zip Tie Tabs to accomplish the same thing as the bent washer if you're into that sort of thing.

One suggestion, you may want to replace the zip ties that you have holding the fittings of the flex lines with worm style band clamps.  I don't trust zip ties to hold the lines at the ends.

I’d weld the oe type brake line holder brackets to the housing in that location if I were concerned.

No issues with zip ties holding those to my suspension links for years in similar action though.

Any flex lines that that have the potential to move are "hose"-clamped to the link and are quite solid.  The hose from the housing to the upper y-link won't move, it could have been plumbed as a hard line.

Accessory bracket, alternator, and power steering pump installed.  Pulleys cleaned up.  Thermostat and new adjustable housing installed.

Fuse/relay block connected to the harness.  Power applied and pedal/throttle body and fuel pump feed tested good.
