As has been said get rid of them and use the ones from Supercheap or Autopro etc. Much stronger and wont blow off.Benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not seen anything like these in either Autobarn or Supercheap ( not saying that there products are no good ) but I think just having piece of mind that no hose will ever blow of no matter what purpose it serves is worth spending a few extra pennies on .

I think I only needed one of this size for the factory crossover. I'm in Sydney or will post if you send me postage $.I'll confirm the size next time I go to the garage.
