When I installed my secondary heat exchanger and over-flow tank, I used screw-to-tighten hose clamps instead of the factory style hose clamps. I have modified transmission mounts that transmit vibrations throughout the car that vibrate loose the screw-on clamps. Does anyone know what part number the factory-style hose clamps are? Or, has anyone figured out how to keep the screw-to-tighten hose clamps from vibrating loose?

Put some locktite on the threads,the red one I think is the removable type.
Don't use the permanent type or you will need a torch to loosen it after it sets.

Have you tried that? I didn't think there was enough thread touching the base of the clamp to allow proper bonding of the loctite.

the red stuff is the crazy **** lol if you gonna use any use blue. i would use a tbolt style clamp for hoses the one with a lock nut

Thanks man. That is good advice about the t-bolt style clamps. I was asking some of my "car friends" and they had said to use the t-bolt style clamps too. I'll give it a shot.
