FP Hose Clamps??

[Marauderjack]

Anyone know where to find these little "Jewels"??? I re-used them on my first pump change but want new ones since the screw types aren't recommended??:shake:

You can reuse these if you didnt destroy them, otherwise get a fuel injection hose clamp from the parts store.

We used stainless screw type clamps in Juno's car on the GT pump.

The how-to was around here somewhere with pics.

Oetiker Mfg. makes all types of 'crimp' clamps like that.

I'm not sure how quickly you need them but I sell them at my job...let me know what the clamp diameter range is and I can get some for you.

Why can't you use stainless steel worm clamps?

You can, and they will work:

But worm gear clamps tend to chew up the hose as they clamp down.
Plus small diameter worm gear clamps do not exert an even clamping force because the buckle area does not conform easily to the small hose's curvature.
