I have seen a thread (either here or on FF5 cobra forum) talking about some blue coolant hoses - I think from Napa autoparts - that were a "shrink to fit" or "clampless" design. but I can't find anything in the searches.

Am I going crazy and just imagining this?

Help!

(reason I need something like this is that my main coolant tube is SST and measures just under 1.75 inches OD - all of the radiator hoses seem to measure a little over 1.75 ID and I'm apparently not able to get the hose clamps to fully seal when the engine comes up to temp / pressures in the cooling system.

Thanks for any hlep.
