Folks,
The photo depicts a plastic part on a Zum utilized to set the tension on a Raise-Helper spring. It is circled in red. I’d appreciate what it’s name is so I can purchase some.
Thank you

A search for "beaded cable ties" will get you into that world. Size and strength specs....I have no idea. If you end up finding and getting a good, workable product, please report back. I've wondered about finding these too.

Marty,
Send Bruce Zumsteg an email.
He probably has some or will tell you where to buy.

If you don't have his email,
let me know and I will send it to you.

bferguson1947@gmail.com

But here are some sources that I found.
Buy extras because the new ones are JUNK.
