Abstract: A relatively simple assemblage according to the invention includes a uniquely shaped length of tubing (10) and a bracket (12) which has a mounting pad (14) and a band section (15) which is molded about tubing (10) at a predetermined location. The method of making the assemblage includes providing one or more lengths of tubing (10) which are formed to a desired shape, and a plastic molding material which shrinks by a determinable amount on cooling (e.g. a retractable polyamide material). Using a mold, the plastic molding material is molded to and/or about a predetermined area of the tubing (10), thus gripping the exterior of the tubing at a predetermined orientation, as determined by the positioning of the length of tubing (10) in the mold, and thus forming the molded addition.
