Screw/band (worm gear) clamps Edit Screw clamps consist of a galvanized or stainless steel band into which a screw thread pattern has been cut or pressed. One end of the band contains a captive screw. The clamp is put around the hose or tube to be connected, with the loose end being fed into a narrow space between the band and the captive screw. When the screw is turned, it acts as a worm drive pulling the threads of the band, causing the band to tighten around the hose .
lucaspamplonica txs, indeed that might actually be design consideration. But when it brakes its mostly due to corrosion. And that is a common problem. For sure mot an intended design. Txs for commenting
I am about to install a new radiator and hoses. Is there a set procedure for refilling the coolant system ? Anything to watch out for ? Any tips would be much appreciated.
You do this by connection all hoses and connection, then suck the overflow tank empty of air ( there are tools for that) and when sufficient vacuum is created in the engine.... let the coolant flow (on the tool). I have a few videos where the tool is shown ( look at the TVR cooling)
