Just working on the dipstick for the tender and wondered if anyone knew what retaining clips are being used for the pipework. From the various images it looks like compression fittings are being used, which I am using also for the holding the base of the dipstick tube to the top of the tank.

However I am thinking of securing the top of the tube to the side of the tender with a munsen ring secured with m10 bolt, but if other clips are used elsewhere this will look a bit out of place.
