Gas tank carpet

I'm hoping to change to bucket seats and console soon. I know I will need to purchase the cardboard gas tank cover and the carpet to cover it. My question is...is there a screw/clip set needed to attach the carpet? I saw a set for sale in that section and now am wondering if I will need that also. If I do where would someone find them?

Re: Gas tank carpet

You don't need the cardboard if your going with carpet. The carpet covers have plastic clips that hold the cover to the tanks and Velcro at the ends. It seems a little cheesy but holds well. I did not use the Velcro.
