If you download the manufacturers data and installation sheets, it will tell
you how to put them on. Yes it seems a bit strange at first but after you
have put your first one on you will be OK to do the rest. Mine have worked
perfectly on both ehs and phillystran...a wonderful invention. You have to
take care to use the right size thimble for the size of ehs or phillystran
but the man from Hill Radio was able to send me the exact parts that I
needed. I wouldn't go back to cable clamps again although at first I was
somewhat baffled like you. They are rigid and springy. The mating surfaces
have some sort of grippy material applied to them. They certainly won't
slip.
