Toasty. I went ahead and replaced mine with OEM because the first one lasted 26 years, and again, was cheaper.

I have to replace my Aeroquip braided aircraft fuel hoses every 5 years.

Like I said, I prefer OEM when its available. Not that factory engineering, materials spec, and quality control are important...

The more I look at that picture, the more I'm convinced to use OEM. Why was that clamp on there?

Tedro, you have a long way to learn, that was a factory replacement kit not my car, but one of many that I part due to engine bay fire. and not all of them last 26 years and a lot of things change when higher fuel loads are require due to modifications. But anyway what do I know you probably know these cars better the me

Easy, partner... I mentioned I prefer OEM. I'm not offended by those that don't. The OP wanted opinions.

I was just surprised that a factory kit would contain that cheap clamp. All of my clamps were smooth edged with a more "louvered" teeth area.

I'll be the first to admit I have a lot to learn about 951s.....
