Well if $8 to $12 is too expensive for a set of metal brake line straps,
you might try nylon bailing twine or a length of bailing wire. Just
about anyone who owns livestock is throwing that stuff away every time
they are opening a bale. I'm sure that with a little bit of looking you
can find three strings for free. The nylon should last 5 or 6 years
easily. The twine from a three strap bale should be enough to last
several decades.
Old shoe laces would probably do the job for a year or two.
