    Mercury Zip Ties, which ones have the radius on the head?

    Doing some work and i am finding three different size zip ties for holding tubes to nipples.

    69355, Tie Strap 5.50"
    816311T, Tie Strap 8.00"
    56762, Tie Strap 4.00"

    Which ones have the radius?
    Thanks

    I don't think the bottom one, 4.00", has the radius. I am changing an oil pump and just pulled the lines, no radius. So unless someone as already been in there and changed them, no radius on the 4.00"

    The 8.00" for sure has the radius.

    Not sure about the 5.50",
    I ordered some 5.50" from a mercury dealer and they didn't come with the radius, but i am not confident i got the real deal OEM part.

    Correct. 816311T is the only one that is a Radius Head. The others are simply a high-quality (traditional) tie-wrap of a specific size and length.

    Wish I knew where... perhaps they are one of the other numbers. REALLY prefer that style!
