Default Fuel filter shell fix

Has anyone tried adding a cable tie longways around the shell and the top plate, this would hold these two parts together even if the plastic part on the shell that the clip goes through failed ?
&nbsp\\;
I know I'll take a "beatin" from all for this shade tree&nbsp\\;suggestion&nbsp\\;

good idea, 'cept I'd be concerned about the composition of the cable tie material and if it will withstand submersion in the fuel with additives and ethanol in the tank. Good idea, though for the right material..

I agree, especially considering the fact that the replacement part is cheap.
