As promised Ian, i think these are the ones you want/need :

It's fairly unusual to have a rectangular section and if you look at the bulkhead hole, i think you'll probably find it's round. Those fit a 6.0-6.5mm hole, if that's not the correct size, use the description "fir tree cable ties" and search ebay - check the seller location, i found a lot were in China and while they were cheaper, the difference wasn't worth the wait IMHO so picked a UK supplier.

The other option is normal cable ties with a separate fir tree base.

Fir tree base ^^^^^

Fir tree base and cable ties kit ^^^^^ (suitable for 9.7-10.0mm hole)

Hopefully something there to do what you want!
