Kyle, I was able to use the worm/gear type clamps on the hose when I put the
car back together.I see no reason you shouldn't be able to do the same.HTH,

Ok well thanks to everyone for the info on the bypass hose. I noticed that
this hose is just held on by a cheapo factory spring type hose clamp. I
would ultimately want to replace these clamps with the 'worm/gear' type hose
clamp, anyone see a problem with this? I just wasnt sure if there was enough
room on the neck(s) on each side of the bypass hose to firmly grip down and
seal with the better, but wider, 'gear' hose clamps. Thanks again,
Kyle
