FWIW

Thought some of you with FMIC's may benefit from this info.

Page 116 has standard T-Bolts and what they are used for.
Page 117 has flex seal clamps and what they are used for.

sweet

I just replaced all my old silicone hoses and T-bolts from this place

good prices and they get your stuff to you real quick;)

My first post was to show what is the "proper" clamp for silicone hose turbo connections.

Took some pics of mine

The clamps in the pics are the same size as what's used on most FMIC joints.

The seal clamp on the left is made in US by RG Gray corp, Buffalo grove, IL. Fairview just resells them.

I also weighed the difference. 16 "seal" clamps weigh 1 1/4lbs more total than 16 T-Bolts that are normally used.
