Hey Guys,
Just ordered me a set of titanuim hose clamps. Nothing but the best for my baby. I figured in hard-to-reach areas, the non-corrosive nature of titanium might be insurance. Overkill....ya think! LOL!!!

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a pig to prepare for spit-roastin' tomorrow. |cheers|

Have a great, safe and Happy Holiday, guys!

I didn't know SS would eventually rust, as said by the guys selling the titanuim clamps |biggrin| . In marine applications maybe.

Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.
maybe putting them on next years christmas list, book mark that site, thank you, living over here on the washington coast where we rust instead of tan, they could be a very usefull item. |wavey|

A little pricey but at the same time you could do the whole car for $25-$30. I would consider doing that. Thanks for the link. Hmmm....... |thumb|
