I can reuse the stock metal clips?

The stock clips should work. but...why would they include them if the stock ones worked??...i dunno, this is getting ME frustrated, cause TF has always come through for me and now i see quite a few other ppl have missing parts...
If for some reason the stock clips don't work or you'd just rather have the TF clips, just let me know.

The problem right now is I should have a more recent revision, it is dated AUG 2006 on the bag. I do not know whether this is a stamp from TF or a inventory date for PTuning. I have no idea on this...
I've contacted TF's representative and their president. They confirmed that MA-1600 and MA-1300 is for Mazda3 application. They stated that the missing piece in the middle of the hose "MIGHT" create a problem. Now this is what I do not want. The "MIGHT" answer are creating a dangerous point for me to install it... They want me to contact and go thru PTuning for exchange. They did not offered me an exchange offer at this point...
I've also contacted PTuning, but as of right now, there is no solution for my problem. And the real deal is I've past the return date as of right now... Hope PTuning will offered an exchange WITH every hardware on it...
THIS IS GETTING FRUSTRATED.... :x

I've never seen any date code stamps from TF, so my *guess* is that it's from PTuning. Although Aug 2006 is way past the time TF updated the kit. When i did the first GB here back in Jan 2005, the kits had the sliders.
Either PTuning was getting rid of old stock or TF was...hard to say. I don't understand why they even made a kit without the sliders...they are obviously needed not just for install purposes, but for safety reasons. I agree tho, i'd want the kit with the slider fittings...as they obviously felt the need to revise the early versions to include them on their later versions.
If you are not able to exchange them with PTuning, like i said, if i can help, just let me know.
Even if you guys did not buy them through me, i still want to offer to help.
