1995 850 Replacing radiator

Post by osmium »

I'll be replacing the radiator on my 850.

Are the retainer clamps for the transmission and oil cooling hoses the same clamp?

Yes, they are the same. There is also a front and back on the clips. use a clamp or tie wrap to keep them tight.

Thanks for the info.

Is it worth getting the kits that include all the o-rings for the hoses?

As cheap as o rings go I do change them out. Coat them with tangy fluid.
