Which silicone hose clamps?

[M.C..]

Ordered some silicone coolant hoses but not sure what clamps to get either jubilee clips or is it better to get some mikalor clamps or somthing similar?

 

[RichValver]

iv used all stainless steel mikailor clamps as they look alot better. Iv done a fitting guide and list of clamp sizes needed too if any help to you

Looking to fit some silicone hoses myself, @M.C.. did I read that you had some issues with the mikalor?

What did you go for in the end?

Use normal ones. I put the mikalor clamps on and I’m just about to swap them out.

Been recommended JCS Higrip. Just trying to work out the sizes I need now. Going off the sizes i've seen recommended by @RichValver they're the below:

Pack QTY: Pack of 4, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 17-25mm (0X)
Pack QTY: Pack of 10, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 25-35mm (1)
Pack QTY: Pack of 4, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 35-50mm (2A)

But I will confirm.

yes I used Mikalor on all hoses and did a trackday atAnglesey, one pipe started leaking when on track as they were not clamping the hose correctly messed my day up so changed all the clamps when I got back to normal jubilee clips.

These. Used them on my Clio years ago.

We used them down Portsmouth Dockyard to secure ducking round a pontoon that spends half its time under water and they are still perfect.

Not wanting anything that will dig into the pipes over time. That's why the JCS HI-GRIP are perfect as they're stamped and have a smooth inner edge.

So I received my Silicone hoses and measured them all. The dimensions are as below:

18.4
18.5
18.7
20
24.3
24.7
25.65
25.7
26.2
26.63
32.5
33.75
38.3
39.74
39.84
41.37

Give or take, as they're obviously flexible.

So the below should be fine, with extras to err on the side of caution.

Pack QTY: Pack of 6, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 17-25mm (0X)
Pack QTY: Pack of 10, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 25-35mm (1)
Pack QTY: Pack of 6, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 35-45mm

I'll confirm when I do mine, but they should all be correct.
