Carb rubber clamps

<< < (3/3)

Oddjob:
Don't buy any rubber products or carb products, both are very cheap, poorly made and cause problems. USA site is full of comments regarding them.

TezzerTel:
I was asking more on what style of clamp we prefer and possibly why you prefer that type. I've just taken some jubilee type off mine to go back to the original type but not sure if I'm doing right

Sesman:
Hi, Tezzer.

I’d say whatever takes your fancy as long as they fir properly and don’t damage the rubbers.

Me, I prefer to run with what the original manufacturer used.

Oddjob:
I prefer stainless jubilee clips myself, just because they don't rust, they are also able to exert more pressure as I've had standard clips where the ears are hard up against each other so are at the limit of sealing power. Also how many have had the screw rust into place and the whole clip bending sideways when you try and remove the clip.

However the downside is that they can mark the rubber, it's only visible though when you remove the clip.

Seabeowner:
For the rubbers between the inlet manifold I'd use stainless bands. For the rubbers between the carbs and the airbox are softer and more easily damaged so I like to stick to original bands.
