Good point.... that " Cuff" is to compress the original hoses on the
injectors side, that is why there is no clamp, once removed (you need to
to relace the hoses), they are good for the garbage.

My picture are wrong, they should't show those "cuffs"  on the rebuilt
pictures, don't put them back, instead, use a clamp.

Regards, Ben
ps.: you call that a Cuff???? here goes my English
