[DeTomaso] hose clamps

[David]

After some discussion round the shop: Both systems (gates and clamptite)
would require good access all the way around the hose.  Imagine trying to
repair a leaking connector pipe on the road?  IMO the clamptite is sexier,
while the gates is more resto-mod.  The clamptite seems like would be more
prone to failure by the wire cutting the hose.

 

Conclusion? Stick with a good quality worm drive clamp.  A couple in the
tool box should cover any on the road leak.
