[Public-List] Stainless Hose Clamps

[Michael Connolly]

Hello all, 

With the current discussion of using two clamps on each end anywhere you are clamping hose I thought that I would bring up my decision to switch over to T-bolt clamps. 

  

Worm gear clamps can twist off the gear slots and come loose, especially if over tightened. During my refit I plan to switch over to the T-bolt type of clamp. Visit www.siliconeintakes.com for further information. These clamps don't have to cost you significantly more than the more traditional SS worm gear type clamps. I believe that they are far superior. You must shop around on-line to get a good price. For instance the clamp at the above site sells for $2.60 each for 1-1/2" size. The same size clamp at another web site sells for $11.65 each. 

  

Actually, after having worm gear  type clamps come loose on my F-250 cooling hoses I plan to order T-bolts clamps for that application as well. Just an idea to pass along.
