i appreciate the info..some of these guys that sell original parts dont talk on the phone and are not very helpful thru email ,outright rude ...thanks very much FABO!
I hear ya. It's been weeks since I've heard back from a few vendors myself. If they don't want my business, I move on to the next one. There are plenty out there.
Like @toolmanmike stated, the fuel filter was originally secured using Oetiker clamps, which can be a little difficult to find locally. I had to order those online. The single wire gold plated hose clamps (Corbin style) that were used on cooling/heating hoses are what I found at my local True Value. If your not worried about being correct, I'm sure the Corbin clamps would work just fine for the fuel filter. Good luck!
