Where and what hose clamps/jubilee clips

[Animal Mother]

I know all about Mikalor clamps for use on the turbo pipes but I was wondering what clamps are best for use everywhere else and where to get them from?

Just don't want to have to buy ones made from toffee from halfrauds.

use ABA or Norma for most applications, and are usually OEM issue on most makes

I, personally am not a fan of Mikalor for boost pipes - I'll tell you why, I think they're too wide and I have had better results with thin hose clamps that excert more pressure, therefore giving a better seal. (Thats exactly how I fixed my last 2 boost leaks).
I do however use Mikalor on my other 'project' for the water pipes - I used them after all other clamps failed to stop water seepage.
I think it depends upon the seal type, is the pipe beaded? If so, go for thin clamps placed just inside the bead line. If the pipes are straight and plain - go for Mikalor....
That's my completely biased and non-scientific answer, but it works for me.....
DT has a good range of Mikalor btw, they have ones with stainless bolts (good for zorts but very expensive) or standard zinc bolts, fine for all other applications....
Semi-drunken rambling over..........

Ask Raj (baltiboy) re mikalor ones he got some cheap a little while back

I can do another group buy if there is enough interest and will include people from overseas this time the only problem i have heard about is the mikalor clamp on the throttle body, it fits but is a bit awkward plus these clips should only really be used with the samco's hoses but are fine for the original water hoses
