I'm looking at using these constant torque hose clamps on my rad hoses since the prior owner had those worm gear type. Should I have any concerns with these? Any lessons learned worth sharing? Thanks in advance
I thought I read a thread/article about clamps but couldn't find it. I'll get busy and order those, Thank guys!The pressure in your cooling system doesn’t require that style of clamp. You should be looking at constant tension clamps. The style you have pictured is for systems that have higher operating pressures such as the compressor side of a turbocharger.

https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...urces-for-constant-tension-hose-clamps.28271/Where do you find OEM clamps? I am assembling all new cooling system parts and the clamps are one of the last pieces. The ones I have not will work but are pretty rusty and would like to replace when I replace everything else.
He is out of them unfortunately. If anyone is interested in going in on buying the ten packs of everything and splitting the costs on them I’m game.There is a guy on one of the other jeep forums selling a set of these that he pieced together. Search for “ Fs: packs of TJ tension clamps”. Apparently he had to buy in packs of 10 so is looking to sell the leftovers.
