Impossible to find part

LOL I like the hose clamp. A man after my own heart.

Try here:

If you get really desperate, I have an assortment of stainless music wire and you can make one.

I knew I could count on a reply from you Jim!

I thought the hose clamp was a decent idea too. It's nice to hear someone of your calibur in agreeance with me (me being such a noobie - this is about the only mechanical work I've ever done on a car - next is my brand spank'n new starter - any advice?). I talked to the guys at BJP Resorations in Quebec (while hunting for the part) and mentioned the hose clamp idea to them and apprently they've seen it quite a bit - in his opinion it works better than the original part.

I'd still like to get a hold of the real deal but in the mean time I'm going to give this a shot - if it does in fact solve my problem I'll just leave it and shelve the true part if I ever do find it!

Did you use the spring loaded tubes? or did you use stock type and remove the heads?

Where is "agreeance"?

Man, which one of the goofy metal heads started the fad of using that bogus word?

I think Jim is actually in *agreement* with you.

Maybe I'm just wierd but that sounds so much better. I shouldn;t bag on anybody, because I am a terrible typist , and often mis-type stuff.

Nevermind Jon, I just couldn't let it go.............LOL

Uhh ... I was actually looking for info/suggestions related to a part .=2E. It's amazing how people tend to pick others apart when they're hiding behind a monitor.
