As I'd previously noted we had a coolant leak associated with the top radiator hose. It is not a revelation that tower clamps are not ideal. I ordered fresh clamps (because they just really seem like a one shot deal). The first set were supposedly Wittek clamps. I picked up a set of date coded ones this time around, also labeled Wittek (they were not marketed as NOS and I am under no illusion that they are) but they seemed more substantial than the first set. I lightly lubricated the inner surface of the clamps and positioned them right behind the bead on the metal radiator pipe and similarly on the thermostat housing and radiator outlet. We ran her for a fair bit last night and topped off the coolant. So far so good.
