Hi,

I figure if someone has gone to the work of linking to a page with a
picture of "No Zip Ties", he would know how many FI clamps I need to get
if I want to do the gas tank reseal job.

I have pulled the expansion tanks out of the wheel wells and there are 6
clamps right there....  how many more are there as I get into this?
Specifically, the thin hose (is it 5mm?) ?

I have the gas tank reseal kit from one of the online vendors, but it
didn't come with any clamps (or zip ties for that matter ;-)  ).  I'd
like to try to have all the bits and pieces on hand before I drop the tank.

Any insight?

Thanks,
Steve W.
