Anyone got any ideas for somewhere to get really small hose clips to suit vac / boost gauge hose (6mm I think)

Been looking occasionally since I put the new engine in, and cant find anywhere that has them in the local factors etc. The only ones I can find are on fleabay mate. Not sure on the quality of them though, so for boost pipes it would make me think twice about getting them.  :undecided:

The problem is that the gauge holder I have is a SWG vent design so if the pipe comes off I have to take it apart which is a ballache.
