749 Whats The Secret

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by Talentless, May 1, 2019.

  1. Just replacing coolant hoses, the hose going to the vertical cylinder head, seems to be awkward to get access to the clamp with either a screwdriver or a socket.

    Is there a certain type of clamp to use ( i am using the jubilee clips that came with the samco hoses)
    or is it just a pig

  2. I'm not too familiar with the particular hose bit you can buy jubilee drivers that have a flexible shaft with a hex end on them for the tensioning of the clip - They come in 6.7 & 8 mm sizes I think

  5. I think they are better quality so should be more reliable , they also do different colours.
