Mars Orbital Clips - A Total Mystery

First of all, Mars C-rings is not the same as industrial

Industrial rings can be installed and removed with special tool for that and can be reused several times

Mars C-rings
You have to expand or squeeze these to fit

If you have just one Mars and like to change lenses back and forth you can use rubber o-ring like these
but have to pick a tight one/ diameter. (this is industrial not the ring's you're thinking about)

You can even use some of the whipping twine and tie a Clove hitch around both Luggs

They’re called ‘circlips’

If you use aramid thread (aka Kevlar & dyneema etc) it will be even stronger than steel but still easy to undo a re-tie

 

[Scarface]

Yes but will you be able to hide the ends so it looks smooth?
I know that the rubber rings holds together and easy to replace.

 

[WavecloudCustoms]

Yeah you could just use a bit of clear coat or similar just to tidy it up.
