What size & type of clips are best for my fuel hose ?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

My hose arrived today its from Planet Silicone 9.4 mm o/d 5.4 mm i/d went to fit it and realised as the bike came without a fuel pipe on it I didn't have any clips in the box of oddments I was given all my existing clips are automotive and far too big.

What size actual clip do I need is it 8 or 9mm to get enough pinch on the pipe?
Is S.S. worth the extra cost whilst I am buying?

If you talk about fuel hose between tank tap and carbs, I don't use any (hoses are 5.5mm id)

Same here. The modern hose I got from DSS it so elastic it stays put.

Thanks both of you - I'm probably just thinking too automotive - there isn't much pressure as its just gravity !
It doesn't help that I didn't have the old ones to go by - that said all four of the fuel overflow pipes have small clips on them - not sure if that's original though.

I still have clips on small overflow tubes too as I had them with bike from PO.
You can still buy clips in nearest Honda dealer btw..
