Question Suggestions for Export Brace Install??

So I am installing my new export brace in my 65 and just realized that the stock passenger side has a strap that hold the heater hoses up. The new export brace doesn't have such a thing. What to do with these heater hoses?

Shouldn't be hard to attach a strap to the new export brace?....I used to just zip tie mine together..

A big zip tie will do, or two or three...

Or get some of the stick on mounts for zip ties this way it won't be seen from the top.

I just screwed the rubber strap, which is basically a piece if tire casing, to the same spot on the brace. 6 cylinder and K code cars had this strap. I have no idea what Ford did, if anything, on cars with factory-installed export braces.

Thanks 2+2 for the information. I have it strapped now with zip ties but will probably pick up a rubber strap before I start driving it in spring!
