I believe that the wire type clamp is correct for our era cars. How about red rubber radiator hose in place of the far easier to obtain black? And I think it should be the type of hose that is canvas reinforced (think fire hose), rather than just straight rubber, and definitely no accordion type universal-fit hose. It's funny how judges seem to focus on what type of hose clamps you're using. It's mentioned several times on shows on the Velocity channel. Ross
