I also don't think the plastic tube is thick/strong enough to use a worm-drive clamp and that's why Porsche just uses a tension type hose clamp.





Full picture link (large) from the tutorial shows how close the pipe is to the stater. Be gentle with it.

Also reading through Pelican's tutorial on changing the stater, they recommend to replace or reseal your oil cooler.

Thanks, Pal. Yes... don't want to disturb those ears. I'll be gentle. And patient.

Installed an S cooler and the rings a few months ago. Thanks for the head-up.

Funland. SoCal by any chance?

Cheers!
