Is it the Gates 11/32?

Also, were these secured w/ corbin clamps at both ends?

TIA.

Yes, with round wire spring clamps like a heater hose, not the flat steel kind like a fuel line. :2cents:

11/32 is correct but originally it was a molded hose...

Interesting. And that looks expensive. Lol

I've got a Six Pack now, so that's one correct expense I can skip.  :biggrin:

Personally, I don't think they were all pre-molded like that at all. I think that after 45 years of being held in that position with all the heat and oil etc... I think they just stay in that shape and become rock hard :2cents:
