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 Renshaw
