Chip,
Not a lawyer but I have a question about the above....if you can come up with a complete braided sleeve overlay for all hoses and remain using stock clamps with the addition of the appropriate AN fittings.....where is the liability.
I do a lot of shows and there is always interest in just this type of thing....so from a vendor perspective, will this happen anytime soon?
Thanks in advance.

We have done a few for people and they have battled the AN fittings for leaks. Most people who have not dealt with AN fittings have a hard time working with them...
Fear not, I have something we are working on for you guys...
Helicopter parts
Peace

Installing mine today. Not all the clamps are 1.5 inches. The one that fits the thermostat outlet is a 2 inch. For those of you that are using the Spectre aftermarket clamps you will need 3ea. 1.5 and 1ea. 2 inch clamp. Easy to install once you get the OEM hoses off. The bottom hose is the most difficult on the radiator side due to the positioning of the goofy OEM clamps.

They made it here through all the ice and snow. My office has been closed for two days becuase of the weather, so I spent two days doing mods. I'll let you know how all the lines come out. I have been working with Swiftrider08 on the other lines. Thanks fo your help Chip.

Almost done, just tweaking things out. Doing the full job using a combo of Chip's CCA hoses, Magnabrade, Spectre Clamps. Aeroquip hose with A/N fittings and some other items is not for the faint of heart. My hands look like hamburger and plenty of garage words along the way.

Nothing like getting pricked a 1000 times...

If interested, XRP makes round Hose Finishers instead of the basic hex, plus they have a couple extra colors too http://www.xrp.com/XRPCatalog.pdf

Would have been glad to help you out with the clamps if you would have just asked. It did take a bit of trial and error to get the clamps right. But all is well now.
