induction tubes as heavy wire support?

Hi,

I wanted to use the induction tubes (IO-360-M1B) to support my starter motor and alternator wires, with big adel clamps. The tubes seem plenty solid for this application, but I wondered about affecting the pressed-in seals at the sump with the extra strain, inviting a leak.

For the sump routes, I've got a governor oil line in the way on the right and fuel line + mixture cable in the way on the left.

Are induction tubes ok for big wire support?

Thanks so much
 
This is how my starter and alternator wires are supported. I don't think there is a better way.

If I recall, my O360 intake tubes required #27 size clamps. If you have cold air induction, the tubes are larger.
