You can order/buy the zipties straigth from the states. I use Panduit PRT1S-C0 for the locking heads which are 4 7/8" long. Longer zipties are PRT3S-C0 and those are 11 1/2" long. Basicly any similar size zipties should work, but I liked the release mechanism of those.

What comes to the shipping I got better offer on that and now the total price will be 55$. (zipties included)

You just need to make round ABS covers and go to your nearest sign shop and make your own rim lookalike decals. If there are no cooling holes then there is no need to clean them so often.

Edit: That plastic injection tool is coming, but at the moment cannot afford that either.
