Hi. I use Mill-Max 9548, which is quite similar, in my Nixie watches. It works well. However, I also anchor the tubes in place with a piece of foam mounting tape. You might want to consider using a tube clamping bar with a small grommet at the top of each tube, held in place with a support structure on the rear.
