Default Anyone have some suggestions on what hose clamps to use...

For the vacuum lines going to the BPV's?

As most of you know, the diameter of the vacuum hoses is fairly small....

What hose clamps did you use? Where to get them?

Any help is appreciated...


Thanks!

Default Zip-ties will work. Or you can get oem Oetiker 1-use clamps and a crimping tool.

Go to: <a href="http://www.mcmaster.com">McMaster-Carr</a> and search for 'ear clamps'.

Default ABA Mini Clamps

<center><img src="http://www.ultimategarage.com/ABAMini1.jpg"></center><p>Great for fuel and vacuum hoses. Unlike the Oetikers, these are reusable. These have rounded edges to avoid cutting the hose. They are made of 304 stainless, both the band and worm drive.

Default Stoopid question...

How do you use the crimp tool to crimp the clamps at the BPV? It sits a little under the lip of the thing and the tool doesn't fit in there.
