Plug wires coming loose

Since going to solid motor mounts on my 911 track car, my 3-liter will occasionaly "spit out" a plug wire from the spark plug causing a misfire/loss of cylinder. I have done a quick and dirty remedy using tie wraps but I have heard of a clip which can be mounted to the valve cover bolts. Does anyone have any ideas on this remedy or others. My wire set is otherwise in great shape.

Yep. I bought my set from The Racers Group.

Sounds like your spark plug is not pushed on the plug all the way. I had the same problem and found out that I wasn't pushing the wire on hard enough to hear the pop.
