What is the proper way to secure the temp gauge capillary tube to the gas
line? I have the aluminum "clips" and wrote notes when I disassembled them,
but just cannot seem to get a tight fit. Also, it seems like the clip has
about 6 inches of excess if you wrap the strip around the tube and pipe. Do
you cut off the excess?  In some pictures, it looks like there is a piece of
rubber hose under the clip, but the parts manual or catalogs do not show
this. Lastly, is this a secure fit with the clips or more to just hold the
tube relatively close to the pipe?  Any insight on how to do this properly
is greatly appreciated.
