Hi guys managed to remove the radiator today which i will send off for a recore. While i have dropped all the coolant i am goimg to change the main hoses for silicone ones, i have ordered the 4 i need from clever trevor. I know you can buy a complete kit, but the others are new, so only need the 4. My question is what is the best type of clips to use. Standard jubilee, the mikalor type, or any other. All suggestions welcomed, thanks Tom.

Mikalor are good but expensive IMHO. I use JCS Hi-Grip, preferably in stainless. Industrial hose suppliers or a good boating shop will stock them

I reckon a good quality stainless worm drive (Jubilee)type clip is as good as anything but take a look at www.flowtech.co.uk if you want some choices, lots of hose clips and other goodies !
