Screw/band (worm gear) clamps Edit Screw clamps consist of a galvanized or stainless steel band into which a screw thread pattern has been cut or pressed. One end of the band contains a captive screw. The clamp is put around the hose or tube to be connected, with the loose end being fed into a narrow space between the band and the captive screw. When the screw is turned, it acts as a worm drive pulling the threads of the band, causing the band to tighten around the hose .
lucaspamplonica txs, indeed that might actually be design consideration. But when it brakes its mostly due to corrosion. And that is a common problem. For sure mot an intended design. Txs for commenting
I am about to install a new radiator and hoses. Is there a set procedure for refilling the coolant system ? Anything to watch out for ? Any tips would be much appreciated.
You do this by connection all hoses and connection, then suck the overflow tank empty of air ( there are tools for that) and when sufficient vacuum is created in the engine.... let the coolant flow (on the tool). I have a few videos where the tool is shown ( look at the TVR cooling)

Mark Bridgewater txs , so screw bands . . Now i know what call them. We call brite. But is most likely after a brand.
In the UK the hose bands are commonly referred to as Jubilee clips.
Much appreciated
Those clips on the hoses here in the UK we call Jubilee Clips not spanners :)
TXS Rick for pointing this out,,,,
I always just called them "hose clamps"
Maybe the towbar acts like a fuse... I'd prefer to break it rather than the crash box!

Those white nut clips are often called "Tinnerman nuts"
Thanks for the comments, thanks for the correction
Is it not easier to put the radiater in before the shroud? Or is that not possible? Nice video once again! /Otto
That is also an option an might be a bit easier and should work.. Txt for commenting
Getting so close to getting back on the road.. Do you have a race track near you?
Mark Bridgewater , txs Mark. Yes and no. Its about 160 km away and called “Zolder”
160kms , hummm , you might be looking for a disused air field near by :)

There are many ways to do this, I like to use the vacuum method

@@D3Sshooter Will check out the video. Thankyou.
There's a lot of "lightness" in that Elise.
The Colin Chapman legacy lives on. Remove weight everywhere where possible...
