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

Tony
as Trevor says the clips are the best method, as the tube softens with heat and maybe takes a permanent set (rubber will but maybe not silicone,)
the clips take up the slack automatically and maintain the tension. Unlike worm drive clips.
BTW have a look at this youtube clip, my Long EZ flying out of it's winter quarters. Off the ground in about 300 meters.
