Heat Shrink Hose Clamps
Anyone tried using these? Claim superior clamping performance but single-use ... http://www.gates.com/products/automo...grip-sb-clamps

I've looked into those but never took the plunge to try them.
I thought it would be an interesting to use them in the 16V and 85/86 intake if they are wide enough.

Would like the description to say all rubber and silicone hoses, as opposed to just "all brands of silicone hoses". I've generally found silicone turbo hoses seal much easier than cooling hoses, that said it would still work for the intake on earlier cars.

77Tony is using them on his JP car, check with him on how he likes them. I am contemplating those as well for my project.
Cheers!

I have supplied them to Sean at 928 docs. They worked well but the available diameters are not small enough for most 928 potential applications. Maybe he will chime in.

Hi Tom, Shrink wrap hose clamps work great and as you say one time use. Many sizes to choose from. Check with Roger or Summitt. More here: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...roject-21.html
