RUNAMUCK Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Looking at hose clamps for my radiator hoses. What is the OS hive minds opinion of T bolt clamps, versus standard style screw driver hose clamps? I guess anything is better than the wire hose clips used by the factory.  What does everyone reckon?

Bling Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I just have screw on ones on the project as it's what I had in the garage. If the pressure in the system is enough to blow those off I probably have bigger problems. That's my theory anyway. The other car still has all of these on it:Â 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can't really overtighten the item as the clamp just strips too  have seen T bolt style clamps on standard rubber radiator hoses cut the hose on the edge of the clamp causing them to leak but that could be because they were overtighten or that brand were sharp on the edge. but personally think they can be quite bulky looking.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they can be tricky to get off or move and are good for making you bleed or flying across the room.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dosnt have a spring and is totaly different to the old ones looks like that side would be the outside. and the other side would press into the hub. hub and spindle setup im guessing? as i cant see any other way the seal would be retained to the hub most style seals ive used like that have a steel other flange and bottom steel ring to press into a hub. but the photo you put up doesn't look like its a steel ring to press in  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I use long nose vise grips for that.  This particular Vehicle will require a motor out job any time I blow a gearbox or clutch. So I'd like it to be easy to pull apart too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
