Absolutely none of those crappy bent wire hose clamps that knacker the hoses
in three nano-seconds!
I've specified worm drive type on the grounds that if they were good enough
for Rolls Royce, Aston
Martin, Jaguar and a few others - they're good enough for me :) What's more,
if the car does appear
with them in place when I first meet it, they'll be coming off immediately :)
John,
You mean those famous super grip clamps? I might agree with you on this one
and take the 1 pt per clamp, 10 pt total deduction maximum per car too.
Especially problematic are all the new manufacture ones. They don't seem to
be
the right size as original to me. They always seem too small or too large and
slightly different than the originals. Anyone else notice this?
Mark my restoration guy had one of the heater hoses on the 3B double
clamped with a worm gear clamp for the super grip had bottomed out without
sealing
the hose. He told me that I could take it off it I wanted but watch it. That
could be and option for you on the Stag. :)
Cheers,
Darrell
