No issues here I have the same set-up like GC with the Samco clamps

The 5th engine down is mine, Metallic Silver with the green hoses. Mark Haibeck did the install with what looks be me to be the stock clamps. I have not had a problem with them in two years.

Red may be a bit loud! But so is a white engine I guess!

I have cut about 1/2" off of the intake hose since these photos were taken.

Your actual engine colour scheme is one of the best I've seen, and the best on that page.(although that 1st engine is a nice scheme as well as it looks stock).

I have the blue hoses, but am thinking about going to red to match my cam covers. I could offer you a deal on my blue ones.

I've had them on mine for nearly 3 years. No issues or leaks using the stainless links. Didn't have to cut anything but getting some on took a bit of doing.

Never been quite happy with the 'look' though - would prefer something that looked more stock, but I don't think anything is available. Definitely don't want old rubber there. I do like the rigidity and smooth insides of the air horn connector though again would like something that looked a bit more 'original'.

Marc Haibeck sells hoses that are supposed to look very close to OEM.

Samco also offers several colors other than the black, blue, and red that we normally see, but they are salty.

I bought a set in matte black without the multiple Samco logos from a UK seller on eBay a few months ago.

Thanks for the info - I'll have a look on Marc's site.
