SimonB Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thought this might be useful. I really don't like the worm-drive circlip hose clamps you get with FMICs etc, so I've been on the lookout for some better ones that you can actually tighten up without them breaking. I found these from a place called RallyNuts. They are Mikalor Supra Pro W4, and they are extremely high quality, and look the business. They also do some cheaper ones, as these are pretty expensive. I used the Pro ones for the four clamps visible in the engine bay, and the standard ones for the other clamps. Definitely recommend them, and the shop who also do lots of other motorsport-type stuff like harnesses. If you have a Blitz FMIC the sizes you need are: 1 x 79-85mm (for 75mm hose to throttle body) 8 x 85-91mm (for 80mm hose. I bought 1 pro and 7 normal) 2 x 73-79mm (for 70mm hose on turbo side) 1 x 68-73mm (for 65mm hose from turbo) I bought some for the rad pipe too. Only thing you have to worry about now is doing them up too tight and squishing the pipe!

Guest Terry S Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 They are just Mikalors mate. Dude gets them cheaply, or we can get the T bar ones the same from the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I have the same clamps on my car and they work very well but its very easy to over tighten them. Far superior to normal hose clamps. There is a supplier in B'ham and got mine in 3 - 4 days they also do a slightly cheaper version which has a gold cad plated bolt instead of st/st.

Kevin Huntley Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I have these fitted to my intercooler pipes and there great! I used to keep blowing the silicone hose off the Throttle body at 1.4 bar with Jubilee clips. The Mikalore clamps stoped this happeing and have now been tested up to 1.8 bar without popping off. Envy carry the full range of Mikalore Supra clamps in stock and at discounted rates. Thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I just knew all the suppliers on here would arrive and tell me they sold these as soon as I posted LOL! It's all very well selling this stuff guys, but unless you put it on your website then nobody knows do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
