Hi all. I'm ready to install these (image): http://tinyurl.com/pchha54 into my '88 Westy. Searching the archives, there seems to be 2 different camps on re-using the OEM coolant hose spring clamps: - re using them is ok - don't re use. Install new German type screw clamps. Getting the German type clamps means ordering them online; I'd rather not wait. However. I do see the advantages to using them. Assuming proper parts prep, will re-using the OEM spring clamps ensure a leak free union? Thanks!
