I do and they are the correct ones. The edges are rolled and the slots do not go all the way through. They stay very secure and protect the new hoese. It is suggested that you check/tighten a little after a week or two and then check periodically after that. Always keep the correct fire extinguisher in the vehicle where you can get to it quickly, if needed. Also, do not re-use the plastic fitting through the firewall. Just run a continuous line to the hard fuel line. Have fun and be safe.
