Hi, all. For the purpose of attaching lights and other things, I'm looking for plastic hoseclamps, similar to the one pictured below (that one has a frame-pump peg in it, but I just need a plain hoseclamp). I'm also looking for suitable plastic plugs or bolts I can put into unused bottle-cage eyelets, in place of the metal braze-ons currently there (see bolt.jpg).

Why:
Plastic hoseclamps are lighter than metal ones, of course. Likewise, I wish to lose a few more ounces by replacing the metal braze-ons with plastic stand-ins.

Please redirect me to the proper thread, if I've overlooked it. Thank you.

The Allen head bolt can be found at any decent hardware store. I know my local Ace and Home Depot both have them in plastic as well as stainless and black steel.
Did a little searching online and haven't found the pump mount. Check around at your LBS's.
