TundraMan: My original plan was to use something like a "P" Clamp but my local Home Depot didn't have them in the correct size. The sales person who was helping me showed me these zip ties that have a little mounting hole on the end of them and work perfect. A bag of 10 for 2 bucks make them cheap enough to see how well they work. Time will tell but these are so simple that they were worth a try.
All that is left is mount the studded tires, give the thing a good cleaning and some wax and lube the cables and other parts that need lube and I'll be ready.
