Default bpv install question

regarding my question late last night, you know how there are 3 sections on the bpv that needs to be clamped? the two big holes look easy to clamp but that third tiny one looks to be PITA. i was just wondering if those who were replying my last night's post was talking about that small "male" part of the BPV? any advice on installing that section? i don't want to mess it up, of course. =)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1002628.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1002628.phtml</a</li></ul>

it's a vacuum tube so a tie wrap should work fine

Default resuse stock clamp or use a zip tie

i just did this yesterday...stock clamps are hard to resue on teh passengar side BPV. You can go wtiha zip tie as well. In all honesty, you don't need much to hold it on since its a vacuum hose...

Tiny little ones. Get them on loosely, then zip 'em tight while pushing them back with a screwdriver
