Tony=0Aas Trevor says the clips are the best method, as the tube softens wi
th heat and maybe takes a permanent set (rubber will but maybe not silicone
,)=0Athe clips take up the slack automatically and maintain the tension. Un
like worm drive clips.=0ABTW have a look at this youtube clip, my=C2-Long

e of us have sets of =0A hoses supplied kindly by Stefan Ingemarsson and I
have a question or two for =0A the list for anyone who has fitted his hos
es, using the clamps provided. They =0A are circular tension clamps that r
equire ideally a special too, which I have =0A to compress them, and then
you install them onto the hose. The problem is that =0A we have two diamet
er hoses, the smaller internal 16 mm diameter and the larger =0A 24 mm ID.
The clamps provided, 18 of them for 5 hoses, are all the same size =0A wi
th an uncompressed (read forced open) dimension of 24 mm. I have tried to
=0A open one of the clamps up to fit over the 24 mm ID hose, and on full o
pen it =0A can't quite slip around the OD of the tube. The other problem i
s that the =0A clamps don't seem to provide much tension on a hose that al
beit isn't fitted =0A to anything, that might nominally increase the ID, a
nd make it tighter. If =0A anyone has experience using Stefans hoses, can
they get back to me with advice =0A on the clips, the manufacturer ideal!
=0A>ly, and the most suitable diameter of =0A clamps? Thank you in anticip
