Hi

I'm trying to find a decent set of hose clamps for my top pipe. Mikalor look to do a quality item but only go up to around 250mm. I need them up to 280mm.
My original cheapo ones blew off on the way to a track day resulting in me being towed to the track, so they really need to be of good quality, and able to cope with 1.4 bar.

Thanks, Dico

These constant torque clamps: http://www.turbohoses.com/Clamp.htm

Reassuringly expensive, but very very good. 1.4bar isn't that much, I ran more on these with no problems.

280mm ????

What the hell are you boosting, a spare wheel ?

Given the pressures and forces involved over any diameter, if the hose is indeed that large, hose clips are not the way to go.

Oops, admission time.

I measured the circumference of the pipe, not the diameter. Doh!!!
The Mikalor ones will fit.

<blush>

Thanks for the replies.
