Couldn't you remove the supply line from the rigid line at the top, then remove the plate? Then you would have easy access to the hose clamp. Fasten the new hose at the tank, and feed it up through the plate. Then install the plate, and connect the hose to the ridge line.
@AngeV2 I'd say he knows more then you so cut the man some slack, He did everything right and he works smart, covering gas tank hole with cup and other odd and ends.. Most mechanics don't do that... quit complaining AngeV2, he's alright... btw "certified" lol.. its a joke .. The worst mechanics can get "certified" and hired at your local dealer which happen ALOT. don't go by certified, I've seen the test, its a joke ... Aircraft mechanic's test is not however. (what I did, A&P License) . but you still get idiots sometimes.

What size are the fuel lines you used? The return line and the feed from the pump?
WTF ! Glad I got a 85 Spider from Japan with twin-solex carbs and a mechanical fuel pump. I have NONE of these hoses !
