  • S2 ABY vacuum hose clips - size ?

    http://www.hcl-clamping.co.uk/Herbie...Double-Grip-P1

    I wanted to use these type of clamps on my vacuum hoses in my ABY S2, please can someone recommended the size I need to buy ?

    And also what size of silicone hose in black do I need for the vacuum hoses ?

    Want to completely eliminate any vacuum leaks, so that boost is more constant. :roll eyes:

    Thanks for any replies.

    Small cable ties work the best. If you've got the space, use 2 in opposing directions.

    VAC hose is 3 or 4mm ID... Been ages since I ordered any

      4mm ID & 3mm wall I believe.
      I like Oetiker ear clamps for semi-permenant fixing. For quick release these are really good:

        I am also looking for some vacuum hose clips. The links in this very old thread don't work, so what is everyone else using?

          Mikalor ear clamps are good.
          Measure carefully and choose the size to suit your hose, silicone vac hose is smaller than the braided OEM stuff.

          Oetiker also make the same type but seem to have 7mm as smallest which I'm not sure is small enough..
