Am cutting the AC hoses at the mo but dont have a clamping tool.

Anyone in the Sydney (am on the nth shore) area have one I could borrow, or bring the hoses to for clamping..?

Cheers

Chris

Chris. I watched a film clip just yesterday about Vintage Air which showed a new type of push on fitting (double 'O' ring) and hand fitted clamps (pincers). Even better is the hose used has a much smaller OD and is much more flexible. It's appears to be a much better way to go.

I'll have a surf and post the clip if I find it.

Here you go - found it:
