I didn't yet do final install of 914. When I had it hung temporary, I
ordered clamps I thought I would need. Will use spring band clamps on all
coolant connections. I can't remember exactly which clamps I got from
McMaster, but they I think only carry the very wide ones, and they also
were missing exact size I needed for some. I too ordered the pliers, very
good investment. Best wear goggles when doing install, if one ever failed
or slipped out of pliers it has easy potential of blinding you. I fooled
with other than purpose built pliers, far more dangerous. I supplemented
McMaster clamps with Rotor clip order.
