Anyone using these? What size did you end up buying? I did some googling but had mixed results, I'd like to pick some up on the way home from work if someone knows the size. Here's the list from Summit... http://m.summitracing.com/search/part-ty...=T-bolt%20clamp

Kinda pricey. What's the purpose? As for size, don't they compare to the stock ones, or hose size?
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

Much better clamping force w/o the failures that can occur with worm gear clamps.
I believe hoses are 1.5" but fitment depends on brand of clamp. I'm just gonna measure the hose where it's clamped and try a couple from Summit.

The only failure I ever had with hose clamps was when I over tightened them. That being said, you can't out a price on peace of mind. They sure look heavy duty.

I like these kind of clamps, definitely give you more peace of mind.
I also use fuel injection clamps when I use sections of rubber fuel line, way better design than worm gear clamps.
I measured my radiator hoses tonite on my Duster, the upper measured 1.81" and the lower was about 2.15.
