    Subject: Leaking coolant
    From: Richard Iddon <riddon@sent.com>
    Further to recent posts, I have now obtained and fitted the spring type clips in place of the jubilee clips on my radiator hoses. On first fitting, the leaks were much worse. I have doubled up the clips on the two lower connections with jubilee clips which appears to have stopped the leak for now. I am guessing that the spring clips may seal better as the engine and hoses warm up and allow them to bed in. Anyone else had this experience? Richard Iddon G-RIXS

    Hi Richard, I have CTC clips on all of my coolant hoses including the big ones to the radiator and they work fine. I believe that Rotax fit CTC clips as standard on new engines these days. The only thing I can offer is that when I was looking for some odd ball CTC clips that I bought some from a supplier in Canada who imported them from Korea and they were pretty much weaker than the ones I purchased from McMasters here in the US. Paul

    Hi Paul, Could you provide a McMaster part number or spec for those clips. I'm sure there's plenty of folks who would be interested in them.
