Default Plastic clips, fuel tank to fi

Does anyone know where to get replacement plastic clips for the fuel hoses that run from the tank to the fuel filter and return line? You know those white, weak, brittle crappy things?

Some do, some don't, the last one I bought I checked before I left the store, no clips. Bought a package of them for about $2.99, just in case. If you're careful, as you know vfast, they can be reused. But's it's a real pita to have to hunt one down in the middle of the job if it breaks.

I did get the new clips for the filter side. It came with the filter. Thanks vfast. However I'm outta luck on the return line side. I'm still searching for that one. What a hassle.
