DPP Cool Hose
So, my Cool Hose arrived yesterday.......it is huge and I can't wait to mount it up, when the Icebox arrives.
However, why are they sending cheap $0.20 worm drive hose clamps with a silicon hose? The slots in the hose clamp is just going to chew up the outer silicon layer when tightening the clamps.
I would love to find some t-bolt clamps or silicon made smooth clamps for this large diameter of hose.
The worm drive hose clamps that come with the Cool Hose are 76mm-127mm, which is roughly 3"-5".
Any idea where I can get some better hose clamps, that should have come with the $120 hose?

I found some at Summit Racing, about $6 each........made by Turbonetics
"These T-Bolt clamps from Turbonetics are made from heavy-duty stainless steel and are much stronger than the conventional worm-drive clamps. The inner band protects your lines from extrusion and is .75 in. wide. Included with these clamps are self-locking nuts so you can be sure that everything will stay tight."
