Re: Fancy green silicone radiator hoses
You could ... but why ? After going to all the effort to duplicate the original hoses, why not use original style clamps as well ? (Which I believe would be those nasty wire things.)

Randall, I believe that you just answered your own question.....
How about those new Gates heat on clamps that Moss sells? They look really neat, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to trust them.

Re: Fancy green silicone radiator hoses
But I'm weird that way, so of course everyone should make their own decision.
Yeah ... but I wouldn't pay extra for green hoses, either. If I'm going out of my way to make it "original", then might as well do it right. If not, then I go for the most effective solution.Brosky said:

Re: Fancy green silicone radiator hoses
Well.
I have the green hoses. They are from TRF. I can't believe they are silicon. I have blue silicon hoses on my Mustang GT. They are not at all alike.
Where do silicon hoses for TR6 originate?
FWIW I wouldn't use anything but the "Aero" style clamps.
Keep on.

Re: Fancy green silicone radiator hoses
Tosh,
You and I have green hoses from TRF, but they are not silicone.
The only silicone TR6 hoses available that I know of is a recent addition at Moss and they are very different than what we have. And you can only get an upper and lower rad hose, not the heater hoses.
And one of them is $45.00.
New Gates heat shrink clamps are below it.

Paul,

Understood.
Whoa! Them is buff.
Would it not be somewhat depressing if during removal of the Gates heat shrink clamp one were to slice inadvertently through the hose? Must be a special cutter for that sort of thing.
OTOH a <u>complete</u> set of those pieces sure would trim a showpiece engine compartment.
Keep on.
