Hose Clamps and Fuel Rail

Post by tricyclerob »

The continuing saga of "Under Hood".

Hose Clamps
If anyone has what they believe are original hose clamps on the radiator hoses, heater hoses and air pump hoses and has some time to take a photo or 3, it would be greatly appreciated.

Fuel Rail
My fuel rail was pretty rusted and as it's chrome it's a pretty dominant feature under the hood. I won one on Ebay and the chrome was really nice, but, one of the flexible hoses had a pretty darn good nick in it. Enough that I wasn't comfortable using it.
I researched putting on new flex lines and wasn't real happy with what I found. It involved different hose and clamps and there was disagreement if it was safe or not. Plus, it would definitely not look OEM.
[If anyone can use the one I have for the "good chrome" feature, it's yours for the cost of flat rat shipping]

Replacement rails were not available anywhere I could find, but found one NOS for a really "ouch" price. But, it was $100 less than the "ouch" price on another one I found. So I guess it's a bargain.

Lesson learned, go out, clean-up and wax your fuel rail…
