[s-cars] Fasteners, aviation parts, etc

[Sean Douglas]

I've heard that ABA clamps from Sweden are very good. They are full SS
and have a wider band (12 mm) than the OE ones. Anyone know where these
can be purchased. Everywhere I call will not sell in small quantities.

I would like to point out that it was while riding as a back seat
passenger in Mike's green S4, that my mother was heard saying, to anyone
who would listen, "that man drives too fast".

On a serious note, the best clamps I have found for boost hose
applications are available from NAPA Autoparts. They have a series of
constant torque clamps in various sizes. I use 2 1/2" aluminum hose in
my custom FMIC. The clamps I got were Balkamp 705-1508. The T-bolt
clamps are not as good. When fully torqued, they have a tendency to bend
your hose in the shape of a V. I have purposely over torqued the NAPA
clamps and the result was a uniform pinching of the hose in a 360 degree
pattern. They really apply their torque uniformly over the entire hose.
HTH.
