We stopped using them because some of our customer were having trouble using them.
I do have a few left if you still want them, but I can not say they will or will not work...
Peace

Let me know, I am interested.

Back to SilverDevil's question - Do you have any plans to offer braided SS hoses for the rest of the C6 engine? If you look at the PFAT (I think) silicone hose set you offer you will see two, three piece hose assemblies that would look outstanding in SS. I don't know the size but since you sell them in silicone, shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Any chance of your doing this?

To make the connections on the (2) what would be 3 pc for each, you wiould need 14 AN fittings, which would be about $20-$35 each. Just the fittings alone would be $280 to $350.
As set for the C6 would easily be over $600.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone I've asked has said no way...

We looked into it, and it can be done, but I don't think you would like the answer.

SS band clamps are used on the silicone hose set and appear to be part of your C5 braided hose set. A $400 price point, similar to that for the C6 silicone and C5 SS sets would be do-able.

The lines in my 08 are secured by cheesy pressed metal clamps. Why wouldn't SS band clamps work on these lines (The hose to the resevoir, for instance, that runs into an arm of a "T" fitting; another line going from the leg of the "T" to the block and the third line going from the other arm of the "T" to the radiator)?

I installed the braided radiator hoses last week and I was impressed with the quality and fit of the hoses. They add a nice touch to the engine bay. 
Thanks Chip!!
