Thank you, Dan.  I have the tube (and I got the longer one) tied down with heavy
zip ties attached either to the heavier wire or through holes I drilled in the
ribs.  Once I check the clearances I will go with the tube fasteners.  I was a
very messy job, and I will need a couple of more hand washes with Fast Orange to
be presentable.  I have a Subie engine and not the Vanagon engine.
