I've never seen that make before.....I'm a great believer in constant pressure clamps rather than standard jubilee clamps.
They look good and I will get Jo to see if she can do a bulk buy.

I'm going to order some of the 20-32mm clamps to use from HCL. There is a minimum order of £7.50 so am quite happy to post one onto you Haydn if you want to have a quick look before buying in bulk? Let me know. Thanks. Leighton.

[quote="sloppy7"]Thanks for all the hints and linked threads which I may have read but will swot up on later! I've ordered the pipe, a new stat, waterpump and coolant. The biggest hassle is the clips. £11 each is hard to swallow so have been researching alternative constant tension bands rather a lot!![/

£11 each is hard to swallow

Is that a Typo.?

Sounds familiar for Mazda clips. Remember thinking a pair of Mazda clips was same order of magnitude as the hose!

Unless it's a typo on the clubshop £11 is the price on there. I've got the constant pressure clamps on there way from HCL along with all the bits to make up my bleed funnel and the parts I need....every day there is a new present when I get home.

Not a typo I'm afraid, and I wish we could sell them for less! The price is actually £5.77 + postage (£3.40) + VAT. Which isn't too bad as we buy in small quantities and they come all the way from Japan.

Ah well...if the one's I've bought aren't up to the job...I'll guess I'll be eating humble pie and asking for a discount on the postage for ordering more than one :wink:

One of he downsides of gen Mazda clamps is the fact that you have to remove the hose from the stub to fit one.......'worm' type clamps can be opened and fitted with the hos in situ,

Would it not be worthwhile stocking MIKALOR CP hose clamps in your shop or is there some sort of trading restrictions.?
