hose clamps

[evil_weevil]

Hi peoples,

apart from your normal O ring clamps that you screw up - saw with the 8-10mm socket - are they any better clamps out there on the market?

The other week my intercooler hose blew off again! (this time at WSID - did a 34@24) - so its the 2nd time and just wodering what better ways are there to keep them "locked in!"

try T-bolt clamps they are heaps better than worm drive type clamps

we use them on our air rattle guns at work and they clamp better than anything else on the market.

If your hoses keep coming off. try getting a lip put on them on the edge of the pipe. Helps alot to stop hoses blowing off under pressure

Also, make sure youve got the clamp just after the lip. Helps with securing it

bell mouth them with a pair of pliers!

I use the stock clamps from the R32 RB20det. 18psi with no pipe's blowing off! Weld around the end of the pipes like others said.

for the price of the heavy duties clamps - just get those if u dont find them 2 bulky - theres only like a 2 dollar diff between 1 that will strip as soon as they get remotley tight and 1s that will crush your alluminium ic pipes if u keep tightening them
