    Yup and I hear they are cheaper than the R53 ones. You can also order them from a stealership and pick them up and not pay for shipping. They come in big boxes.

    Good zip-ties? Not the cheap ones from Home Depot or Lowes.

    Ty-Rap® remains the brand of choice due to its exceptional durability, strength, stainless steel locking mechanism and nearly infinite number of locking positions.

    By the way... If you do use Ty-Raps... Try to find black ones. They are more resistant to UV degradation and tend to last longer.
