Personally I feel the "kits" are overpriced @ $80-90.   Just sell me
the grommets for a decent price and I'll supply my own line and fuel
injection clamps.   The only one that I think is close to being fairly
priced is the Van-cafe one.  It at least comes with all the fuel line
to the firewall and the fuel injector seals for $65.

As an added bonus us Canadians get screwed at the border again!  Grrrr.
