Subject:FI hose clamp size/torque ? (searched archive+ other sites)
From:neil

Hi all.

Just installed all new high pressure (7mm ID) FI hose
in engine bay.

I used 7/16" - 1/2" dia. range flared stainless
clamps. The OD of new line is just over 1/2" (13 mm)

Upon viewing with fresh eyes, the "bottom" (under
bolt) of some of the clamps is buckling a bit.

Did I use the correct size clamps, and is it possible
to over tighten them?

TIA,

Neil.
