I'd pick something UV resistant (some polycarbonate is, some isn't) - 
but I like the general idea - that lets the choke be in the open air, 
for better cooling. Zip ties if UV resistant are ok, but will they last, 
say, 10 years?

McMaster-Carr sells 1 foot squares of just about everything you can 
imagine, so you can pick something with the right properties. Or a 
rectangular bar - something like 1"x1/8" cross section 6-7" long.

If you have a plastics dealer near you, they often have a scrap bin with 
cutoffs for cheap. Take your choke down there, ask them for suggestions.
