:Thumbsup! KK just did this and my god the hassle it saves you lol..

If you need to refit those metal clamps that you need 3 hands to close down to fit over the pipe, heres a handy tip :)
Close the clamps and tiewrap then closed, pop over the pipe and cut the tiewrap once in place.. the time n hassle it saved me was amazing lol.. also if its a hard to reach bit then you cant always get pliers in to keep it open..

it helped me anywho, thought id share :Thumbsup!
