Dnk Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) You can get Samco from https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s/samco-hose-kits I used Mikalor hose clamps on my car which were very good but can't recommend a supplier, plenty on ebay and they come in two specs, fully st/st or st/st with a cad plated bolt, Found these on ebay but can't vouch for them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/301723473302?lpid=122&chn=ps&googleloc=1007293&poi=&campaignid=620865095&device=c&adgroupid=27378760866&rlsatarget=pla-181484327106&adtype=pla&crdt=0 Edited July 4, 2016 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) The Mikalor clamps actually have W2 W4 and W5 specs http://www.mikalor.com/supra-heavy-duty-clamp-eng Edited July 4, 2016 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Many thanks guys. One of them is bound to have what I need. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) The W2 has the coated mild steel bolt the W4 is all st/st 304 grade and the W5 is all st/st but 316 grade but that's overkill for car use I had the W2 on my car and had no issues with them in several years of use Edited July 4, 2016 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I recently bought the whole lot from auto silicone hoses. They came through quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Many thanks for all the assistance Ordered these yesterday, £100 including delivery. Wasn't expecting them to be so expensive but they seem very good quality and I went for the W4 grade stainless clamps. Overkill maybe but I don't want to have to revisit these anytime soon due to rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 £100 just for the clamps ? How many have you bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 £100 just for the clamps ? How many have you bought Not just the clamps, the hose couplers as well. 7 hose couplers and 14 clamps to suit a greddy 3 row fmic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ohh and that £100 included delivery to Dublin and a 15% discount coupon I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just an update. Well I ordered these on Monday morning, as above, from Auto silicone hoses. Didn't hear a thing from them so I decided to email them this morning regarding the status of my order. Received an email from them mid-morning saying they couldn't complete my order because one of the items I ordered wasn't in stock. A 1M length of stainless over braid ......... which I actually didn't order. After explaining this, I was told that my order was in their dispatch dept., and would be sent out today. Only to receive another email informing me that my order could not be completed as 3 of the items I ordered were not in stock. When I placed my order on Monday morning, the website displayed adequate supplies of all the items I ordered. Now I am sure this is just a glitch in a system somewhere, and I know sh*t happens. But why does this sh*t always happen to me ;(. I have asked for an update on when they will have adequate supplies to fulfill my order. Hopefully soon .
