Peter,
I ordered the Mori clips from the ebay link you sent. I'll try them out and
see how they can clip two ends together of the dryer ducting. I don't see
it yet but I'll try it out. Shipping to my address in Illinois (USA) is
quite long (but free) - 17 April to 12 May for $20 USD.
Thanks for the good idea!
Tim
