I don't have my kit yet, but wanted to buy clamps for the brake and coolant lines. What size are they?

Thanks,

Tim

3/16" for the brake and clutch, 1.5" for the coolant.

For those who may not know, when you say 1.5" on the coolent lines that is the over all OD. People who may use pipe need to know that it is measured on the ID, Tubing on the OD. 1.5" pipe is 1.90" OD and Tubing is 1.5" OD. So if you were to use Pipe you would need to use 1.25" pipe as it would bring the OD" to 1.66" OD. Also if you choose pipe over tubing try to get it in Sch 5 or 10 it is a thinner wall and give's you a larger ID and will reduce weight if that is a concern.

I remember the Sanden is -an10 and -an8 in and out. 1"+ dia, OD! real inflexible line. you have to mark the angle you want the bulkhead to point when you crimp the lines. You can only roll it about 1/8" in 10 feet of line. Then 5/8" heater hose.
