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?

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.

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.
