The girl looked at me blankly, had no idea what I was talking about. She called a manager over....they both looked at me blankly. I said "never mind, you're too young"...ROL!!!! I'll bet they're still trying to figure it out!
Hello! I know what you are talking about and have seen a similar thing that might work at car repair places.... here we have Auto Zone. Might also be at WalMart too. They are used for holding hoses onto things like the pipes that come out of radiators and I think they are called HOSE CLAMPS. Bet it would work for you! (PS. They are really cheap so if you get a couple and they don't work---just give them to somebody mechanical and you don't lose much!)
