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.

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.
