Not noticed any movement or loss of the isolators, like i said i hold the bits of tube in place with seizing wire over the tubing, and this seems to work.

That's interesting ...so you're not allowed to use the plastic covered lifeline wire but then it's OK if you add segments of the tubing over the bare wire? The tubing must be a little bit more loose on the wire then ...and like that medium hardness polyethylene maybe.
