I found this thread while searching for Aeroquip hose dealers.
I would hate to see one of yoru GT40s go up in flames.. Aeroquip warns to NEVER use clamps on Aeroquip Socketless hose because it damages the soft hose liner and can cause the hose to split. Build safe cars, guys!
Here's a quote from aeroquip's site:

A: No. In fact, the use of a clamp has been known to cause premature hose failure at the point of the fitting. This hose and fitting are designed and manufactured to work to the indicated specifications without a socket or clamp. |
