No clever title...

While I was working in the engine compartment, I took care of a minor, yet annoying thing on the Viper, he throttle cable. There is a stud sticking out of the intake that a cable holder snaps onto. On my car, the plastic snaps are worn out, so the cable doesn't stay attached to the stud. It doesn't affect functionality, but it looks bad under the hood.

It's a pretty simple fix.  I just wrapped the stud with a few winds of plumber's tape.  This makes the diameter a bit bigger so the snaps fit tighter.  Any tape would work, I went with the plumbers tape because it conforms to the threads better so the snap gets a better "bite."  It's good and snug now, and the white tape doesn't show.
