New Hose clamps (Power Grip)

[Bob Mathis]

I know some may say why did I do this. Will I want to do away with the screw type. To me the Power Grip look better. And yes Curless did some first. And yes they do cost more but you can do some shopping around.

Looks good, much cleaner. What size did you use for the COT hose?

[Mr. Man]

Can you post a close-up shot of the clamp. Black clamp, black hose = HTS, at least on my old screen. Thanks

Bob how are these removed?

And do they need to be heated from all around to get them to hold?

1 time use Marty. Remove with slitting tool - watch video.

Pretty cool. No more cold coolant leaks (not that you southern boys would have to deal with that PITA)!

Looks like Jegs has the clamps and the removal tool.

[MyBlackBeasts]

Lots of places have the clamps so far, even Oriely.

Jegs is only place I've found tool so far.

I got mine from ZORO can by them cheaper than anyone I could fined. Now WirCare.com is all so a good place. My local parts store could all so get them at a good price but had to buy a box of ten at a time. They are a one time use. I used a heat gun and got it around as much I could and ran it on high. I just took my time and got the heat as much around the clamp. So fare went for a good drive and every thing is good no leaks.

I will move the car out and take a better picture.

Here is what I replaced heater hose from the side pipe and all the line going to and from my S/C reservoir P/N 32925.
The three COT hosed at the tube only P/N 32941.
Rad hose from the COT to the rad. P/N 32948.

Did not replace the bottom ones yet.
