as far as material and clips for the upper hoses, any idea on where to source that?

im talking about around 10 mins in on this video, how he is using a fresh piece of hose.

That's the blue hose shown here:

I'm not sure we have the clamps on the site but we'll work on that today and have it linked from the hose listing.

The blue hose clamps are called pinch clamps with guard....oetiker is what you are looking for. Your local auto parts should have some high pressure fuel line worm/hose clamps but i am too something not to use parts from across the pacific.

Yes, they are oetiker clamps. You need a special tool (basically blunted wire cutters) to close them but they are excellent clamps. I bought a kit with the tool and an assortment of clamps from Amazon for about $50 and have used it many times. Works great for fuel lines, I was able to rebuild the factory lines with new rubber for a fraction of buying a whole new set. All of the rubber in my fuel system is new and held down with oetiker clamps. No leaks after a year and thousands of miles.

You shouldn't need Oetiker clamps for the blue hose...it's not under pressure. Ordinary hose clamps will be fine, just ugly.

Yep...the only pressure is density x gravity x height.

When ppl post pictures of the car for sale or otherwise, I judge them by what clamps the use)))lol.

Yep, any old clamp will work. Probably could just use a tight zip tie, even. I just used the Oetikers since it looked factory and I already had them. Definitely no need to buy them just for the clutch feed line.

Well, if you use a Motive Power Bleeder, the clamps will have to withstand 15 PSI / ~1 bar.
