Hmmmm. Interesting.
FWIW, if you decide to keep your metal T setup, you might want to look into some European hose clamps. They're also worm drive, but they don't have gear holes that go through the clamp band, and they have rolled edges to prevent the band from digging into the hoses like the ones in the photo can do (the "Breeze" type.) The brand I've used with great success is Norma (example: https://www.amazon.com/NORMA-012667...9IlCOluBajd-F0jXnUkraRQ0GFUhza8oaAkvbEALw_wcB )
Thank you!
I will keep the metal Ts, but knowing what I know now, I would have just used OEM for direct fitment and they last 90k!! At 3k miles a year, it will take me 30 years to replace them

Took the hose out, looks good, no puncture, they are thicker than I thought, but it was loose so I put duct tape and retightened it.
I will replace all clamps with wider ones in the near future..
