Default Hose clamp

I'm going to be changing all my jublee clips for some MIKALOR clamps and was wondering if anyone knew all the sizes off the top of their head before i go out to the car with my vernier calipers measuring various pipes etc

am i right in thinking all the boost hoses are 60mm???

yeah, id avoid mikalor too, used to use them for hydraulic systems at the place i used to work at, and the clips were prone to coming loose under pressure and generally not being very good at their job

and that goes for various sizes in the range too, as we used to buy them by the van full

LOL, yes avoid Mikalor like the plague, they are SHITE.

I just use normal wide-banded Jubilee clamps. You can get them fairly easily. Just be sure to get the wide ones!!

This sort of thing......
