        I personally recommend using the Original Spring Clamps.  They exert a constant pressure on the hose whereas the screw type clamps do not, plus they tend to dig into the hose causing premature failure of the hose.  We have all the sizes of OEM Spring Clamps in stock, brought in all the way from Germany just for YOU.  See them here:

ALSO, one more tip, when installing a hose on an aluminum nipple that is corroded, clean all the corrosion off of the nipple as best you can then using Loctite Grey (for Aluminum) RTV Silicon sealant on the nipple before installing the hose.  This will stop future corrosion.
