Ivor Phillips(G-IVER)put me onto a Halfords(UK)part made by Laser
Engineering, a cable operated remote applicator to work spring
clips,(part No. 4024) No need for fingers and hands to do the gynecology
thing. I had to slightly modify it for the large water hose clips. See:-
www.lasertools.co.uk
It is covered by US Patent 6,370,985,B1. and described as Hose Clamp
Pliers, Long Reach.
I modified mine by increasing the grab lip depth to 1/4" which then
caters for the larger diameter spring clip.

Here is just one link to get Otiker clamps and pliers. I usually just
buy the kit with the pliers and an assortment of single ear band clamps.
Then when I need replacement clamps I order them separately.
There are other websites that have Otiker clamps and pliers.

Hi Craig,
re the small resitrictor on return flow.
I suspect that it really is there to give any formed vapor a place to go
and get it out of a dangerous area!

their 912 engined plane's to work on from 5 or 6 different states.

Has anyone raised the Ducati regulator set point from factory setting of ~
13.7 to 13.8 volts?
Odyssey battery would be happier at 14.7
volts.
Please share your experience and details if you don't
mind.
Idea was presented to install a diode in series with
"C" sense.
Thx.

Roger:
I fly an Allegro 2000 ELSA with a 912UL engine, and I use normal screw/gear
type clamps on my fuel lines without having any problems. The lines are fire
sleeved. Each clamp screw head is color marked after tightening so to
indicate if any loosening of the screw has occurred. These are checked prior
to each flight. I have been flying this plane for about 2 years and I have
not had a screw clamp loosen. In your opinion, what justifies the use of the
Otiker type clamps (two clamp points per clamp) over the type I am using?
Also getting access to the numerous Otiker double clamp points on my plane
with the pliers would be very difficult, if not impossible at some points,
on the small 912 engine that is congested with coolant lines, fuel lines,
wires, and other devices on the engine.

Hi Hugh,
I don't use a double eared Otiker clamps. I only use the single ear clamp, much
easier to handle especially in tight areas. I'll have to find and get back to
you on the publication where they want band clamps and not screw clamps on fuel
lines and fire sleeve. I keep my resource books at the hanger. This is also
taught in newer Rotax classes.
