Default Spark plug wire protection?

What are the odds of these working on a set of SLP mid-tube headers? I'm willing to try anything to get some durability out of a set of plug wires!

Here's a little better pic. I think they just slide under the header pipes and hook on two at a time?

No need for that. All that is needed are zip ties which can wrap around the plug wire rail to pull wires away from primaries if need be. If they do come in contact with the primaries then why use something that can easily transfer possible damaging heat to the wires?

Around thirty. I don't know how big they are though. Should reflect the radiant heat off the plugs!

That's kind of what I do now. But I think I'm getting RF interferance? I think they need to be "shielded" from the primaries. This thin metal should stay cool!
