1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"
I cannot STAND hoses and general "crap" running over the engine. I always like to run my heater hoses over on the inner fender. I got a couple of 90 hose bends and some aluminum connectors and clamped it all together. It looked like *** with all those worm gear clamps so I decided to try something different. I got some Gates heat shrink clamps. Never used them before. I put them on heated them with the heat gun and I cannot budge them with my big ole hands. They seem pretty strong. Course to get them off, you have to cut um. Big whoop. I did use worm clamps at the heater core, because it's so tight in there gettin the heat gun in there is all but impossible. I think it cleaned it up nice. Hopefully they will hold. I'm carryin around some screw clamps and two gallons of water til I know for sure. lol
