Default -16 and -12 hose fittings, how to bolt to floor pan?

Any one seen or use any fittings when running big JIC hoses throughout your car?

Not seen any giant P clips or nicely CNC'd fitting. looked all over the place now.

Alloy clamps would be great, I bought the hoses from them on eBay and lots of other bits, not seen the clamps on there shop though.

Will look again bud.

Cable ties and duct tape should do the trick

All round band. Pretty flexible and versatile for larger diameter stuff. Still needs a hole drilled in the chassis to fix though

Or if you were really intent on alloy brackets, it really wouldnt be that hard to get whatever shape you need waterjetted out of a block of aluminium

Yes mate and bonkers cheap too, but really well made stuff, it's mean to be trade only but if you knock on the door with cash they don't turn you away, it basically a huge warehouse with a tiny little office that you have to be buzzed into.
I bought 40 various sized really nice stainless steel hoses clamps for Ł20, they do allsorts and Mikalor stuff too.

Here's some from ebay. I've bought braided hose from them which seems good quality. Cheaper than torques

Not quite sure how that place is listing those P-Clips for -12 hose, which typically as a 19mm ID. Yet they say their clips for -12 can take a hose diameter of maximum OD 19mm ?

So OD would be closer to 22-23mm

Pretty sure Torques do -12 alloy brackets for though ?

Strangely they dont list 12, but sure a friend got some earlier in the year. Wouldnt be hard to sleeve down a 14 or 16 though

Looks different...

I have emailed Torques about -16's but yeah may get some made up.

They do work fine on any hose as I have used them in the past on dry sump setups inc on my own car. Personally I think p clips are just an expensive way round doing the same job but are less easy to remove if required unless you use a riv nut for every fixing.
