I'd call a local upholstery shop and ask them.

Hey Hoss, when I bought my hogring pliers, they had the rings right there next to them, they only had one size, so that's the ones I got. If you have a choice, get the smaller ones.

I used the plastic zip ties, a lot easier and they work great

i got tan to match the rest of the interior. got it off ebay for $330 with shipping.

as for the zip ties that sounds like a good idea and i already have a bunch of them so i may have to try that.
