Thankyou everyone for your replys, the paint can lid rings sound like the way to go. I will go down and see RU paintin on my days off and look at what they have.

I guess if the rings have a diameter a bit bigger than the tube then that can be spaced out with come flexible flat strap of some description (eg nylon or pvc): all sounds to simple but very practicle

Take care
