Gates Power Grip Clamps (Hose clamp replacement)

[csfields]

Posted this on Facebook. This has always seemed more archived for me in the sense of a reference and I like posting on the website better than Facebook. I decided to give it a try being that the look was so much cleaner than traditional hose clamps. These are one time use, so I ordered a second set to keep in the event something had to be pulled apart, which is never the plan, but you never know. I did both upper / lower radiator hoses and both heater hoses. Listed below is the part numbers I purchased which should work on any traditional SBC set up for our trucks.

I ordered these from Jegs using the part number below. I know if you drop the 465 prefix the later part is the actual Gates part number. I here O'Reily's carry these, but not the ones here locally in my town. They are more expensive than hose clamps but look so much better. The range anywhere from 3-8 bucks a piece. They do come with the Gates logo and p/n. Nothing a small amount of brake cleaner or electro solv wont take off to keep the look clean.
