Very much the same. Be sure to get the German smooth FI hose, 7X3. A crimp type Gemi clamp (original equipment) is best, a good spec FI full circle screw clamp will do, paying attention that you set them so they get along with others nicely in the "hood". Don't want to be gettin' in the way of them Lectric Boys trying to hook up. Any place that carries the Continental metric hose and belts will also have good clamps. STAY AWAY from the cheap holes thru the band type clamps at the typical HOT ROD FLAPS counter. SOMEONE WILL OVERTIGHTEN THEM AND THEY WILL CUT YOUR NEW HOSES. The good clamps have no holes in the band but the threads are formed into the band, and the edges are relieved to cushion the hose with plenty of squeeze and no cut hoses nowherenowaynohownotnownorever. |
