Thanks, Eric. I will look for a CT on Manitoulin
Island on my summer cruise next month. Sounds like a
neat store.
About the worm clamps...Ken Wilford's kit from
VANAGAIN has some nifty clamps that allow lots of
clamping pressure without damaging the fuel line with
the slots for the clamping gear. The contacting
surface of the clamp is smooth metal with a rounded
edge.
I guess I would get the genuine article rather than
risk cutting into the hose.
I just finished my fuel line/injector seal replacement
Wed. night. It was plenty fun.
Does anyone have a Canadian source of these clamps for
Eric?
