A great way to improve the reliability of your cooling system is to improve the quality of the hose connections. Oetiker clamps (or ear clamps) are one-time use clamps that offer significant advantages over traditional worm-drive clamps, such as:
-Lower cost
-Faster/Easier assembly
-Resistant to loosening
-Uniform pressure distribution
-Less damage to the hose
-All Stainless construction
I've put together a spreadsheet for those interested. McMaster is probably the best source for these clamps. A special tool is recommended for installation and removal.Knipex Tools 10 98 i220
