Clamps for silicone hoses

[bball7754]

Just got a set of silicone hoses for my Crossflow. Thoughts on what clamps to use? T-bolt? Anyone have any experience with these constant torque clamps?

I use them on the intercooler plumbing on my Caterham and Miata turbocharged engines. Just make sure they have rounded edges as the sharp edged ones can cut the hoses.

I use regular screw type clamps on the coolant system hoses.

Mikalor bridged opening t-bolt clamps with rolled edges.

Where did you get the hoses from?

Both Caterham and Samco UK offer sets for the Xflow, but they only come in Blue, etc. Preferred to have something more in keeping with rest of the appearance of the Xflow (Bling factor = 0) so ordered them in Classic Black from this company:

Several satisfied customers on Blatchat, and their prices are better than Caterham or Samco. Arrived two weeks after I ordered. They aren't on yet, but they look good.

I bought silicone hoses from these guys for my turbo. Resonable prices. Have had them on my seven for a couple of years with no issues.
