were would you find heat shrink hose clamps? have seen them on a few cars and looks really clean instead of using hose clamps. thanks moparts

Rock auto, Amazon, eBay, etc. they are called “powerclamps” by Gates.



I have a few on my setup

cool thank you!

they look great but are single use. get a bunch unless you plan on NEVER taking apart your car. One of the things I hate the most is a non serviceable part.

We used them on our Restomods. NAPA also has them.

I use them on my car and I absolutely love them!

They are cool, but I worry about the longevity due to heat cycling etc. Maybe I'm just paranoid

I'd have to get more info before I'd use them

I've run them on my '69 Bee for close to a decade now... not a drip. Its not a daily driver, but it sees enough use that any issues would have shown up.

I was worried about the "single use" nature of the clamps too, but they sure clean up the look and I've actually not had a reason to take any of them off yet since they don't ever leak. One day I will need to remove them, and when I do, I will replace them with the same thing.

Can you take them off without destroying the hose?
Or do you have to replace the whole deal.

I use a soldering iron to cut through them and the hose is left untouched and reusable.

Soldering iron or they do have a really sweet tool that does only that, if you're the type that must have the right tool for everything

This is the first I am seeing of these. They do give a clean look when installed.

I’ve had them on the 340 in the Dart for about 10 years, no leaks, not a drop! Heater hoses, rad hoses, bypass hose, really clean up the engine bay and one less sharp edge to skin a knuckle on
