I stole this photo from John's TR2 rebuild thread (which is amazing, by the way).
Have any of you had problems with the hoses slipping off the thermostat housing or the water pump. I have problems with both of these locations, given there is little or no lip on the cast hardware so the hoses are held in place solely by the clamping force. I tighten the hose clamps with a lot of force but to no avail. After a few hundred miles, they are leaking or starting to slip off. I just bought some super duper clamps on Amazon and hope to install this weekend. Maybe that will do the trick. I was even thinking of adding some JBWeld on the end of the hardware to create a bit of a lip to hold the hose and clamp on.
Thoughts?
