I'm changing all of the hoses on my 96 Trans Am and it's still got those stock spring clamps. Although they're a bitch at times I like the way they look...OTOH they tend not to hold as strongly after reuse.

Does everybody pretty much switch to the traditional hose clamps....worm style I guess? They just look kinda tacky don't they? No offense if you use them

Thanks....

 

the spring clamps work great the first time, but you are right, they loose tension after removal, and yeah, most people use worm gear clamps, to help the look, try to have the screw part on the bottom of the hose, out of sight...........

 

That's what I thought. It would be nice if they made black ones or something.
