Will replace all my remaining clamps with BRIDEX someday.
Every size is possible, really outstanding quality (if not the best), every order is custom made, not a mass product.

Would start a collective order, if there are enough buyers.

Prolock look blingy....Hold over 9.0 Bar....

Decent Jubilee style ones, stay away from Makilor they do not tighten evenly around the hose resulting in boost leaks.

Your so right Karlos....I have Makiler on my hoses and it let go...it did go bang...

How about these T Bolt clamps? (maybe not necessarily the spring loaded items).

Those look like some serious looking hose clamps...cheers

When it comes to boost hoses, Jubilee's are the only way to go. You can google every other type and find forum posts of people having issues with sealing/tightening etc.

Why T-bolt clamps are not as good.

good quality jubilee clips from the local hardware shop. Cheap, simple, and work perfectly.
A few mates have mentioned this recently, and dont believe i have never blown a boost hose off with 2.5 bar when they are struggling with 1-1.5 bar and fancy expensive clamps.

I beg to differ.

With a similar clip to my link it was about the only clip which stopped a fuel hose from leaking in my car ; it leaked with the previous owner as well judging by the amount of clips present on the hose (OK, the solution was to buy an entire new hose but for £200, plus dropping the tank? No thanks).

As I said. "when it comes to boost hoses".

Bodging a leaky fuel pipe is a bit different from a large diameter pipe that is holding boost pressure.

Cheers....That's cleared it all up...Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Just stick with Jubilee. Been used for years and do the job.
