Compression style hose connections???

[snailbait]

I have an 03 1M and at the rear of the tunnel cooler...by the flap...where the 2 rubber hoses connect to the tunnel cooler. One is leaking, but there is only 1 clamp on one end. The other has a plastic collar around it, and looks like it was just slipped on...like a compression fitting. I will try to get pics posted.
Anyone heard of these...or know where I can get some new ones?
I have used just a regular rubber hose with the 2 clamps, but this is a little cleaner..and have worked great...until the end of this season..
Thanks,
Steve

Gates makes a "Power Grip" hose clamp. It is a heat shrink material.

We have used them at work a couple times. They work pretty good.

One thing to remember. If you need to remove one in the field you are done. You better have the old standard ones around.

Thanks, Thunder.
I just checked mine....they are gator grip....looks like from Napa auto parts...# 94925....I think.
They worked well, plus you don't have worry about the track clipping the clamp,, and pulling it off, but I see your point about the mountain.
Thanks,
Steve
