Subject: source for stainless steel fuel clamps

Hi folks:

I bought a new fuel pump and charcoal canister filter a while back, and
would like to put new clamps on when I change things out. I also got a new 2
foot length of 12mm hose to go from the fuel tank to the fuel pump. That
cost me $15, believe it or not.  Apparently I do not have a stock set up, as
someone put in a pre-filter, which supposedly was done away with by 89.
Anyway, would like to get some clamps for the 7 mm hose as well as for the
larger 12 mm hose.  I tried the ultimate garage, and normally I don't like
to say bad things about vendors, but these guys were awful.  Why on earth
they could not put 6 hose clamps in a padded envelope and put some stamps on
it is beyond me, but apparently that was too much effort.  They certainly
were very good making excuses as to why they could not do it.

Anyway, looking for a mail order source to get some clamps.  Hopefully,
somebody willing to ship first class to Alaska.  You guys in the lower 48
have it made when it comes to shipping!  Many companies only ship UPS
ground, and are totally unwilling to go out of their way to do anything
special, like put stamps on an envelope!

Thanks,

Troy in Fairbanks, where we presently have an inch or so of snow. What
happened to summer?

On a positive note, the Peloquin Limited slip differential is a blast to
drive with in the snow! Love it!
