Have you thought of getting some hefty pliers/mole grips on the jubillee clip and breaking it at the screw thread point then buy a new clip.

Rob

I purchased the ASH stuff off Fleabay and cut it to size 32mm hoses I think. Just get some decent clips and tighten them with a ratchet as opposed to a screwdriver.

Are you working on it tomorrow daytime?

Definitely +1 ... they tend to "come apart" (break) quite easily in my experience.

They're 35mm hoses as a rule IIRC, and 38mm on the engine parts (pump & stat with diameter transformations thru the swirl tank & swan neck).

1&3/8" and 1&1/2" IIRC.

Measure twice & order once wink

ACT sell them and if you ring they cover a few different ones, as some the rad is straight some are right angle
