Replacing all hoses on 89 FJ62. Any opinions? #3 seems to have been really tight on the hose but still looks like it has been leaking and causing rust. Thanks for the input. Kinda boring poll. Sry.

I would get replacements that are the same style as the old ones. They’re available from city racer. I replaced all my hoses and clamps a few years ago and used #3 and I wish I hadnt. I have some small leaks I have to keep my eye on. Do yourself a favor and go with OEM whenever possible.I am comfortable with whatever works. I’m about to remove a ton of the original type that you can see in the background of the pic that I didn’t list as a choice. Looks like they are proprietary and not reusable. Thx for the feedback.
You can still get those clamps. They’re good clamps. But you gotta destroy them to replace them.In the background you can see the OEM clamp at the other end of hose #1. It looks like a pin type and I’m trying to find what is best to replace these as well as I’m pretty certain they are a one shot type clamp.
I think that is an Oetiker-style clamp. It has different stops such that it can be used over a range of tube OD. There is a special crimp plierd used to tighten them up.In the background you can see the OEM clamp at the other end of hose #1.

What is wrong with #3?
I know its not OEM, but I have been using them for the last 40 years and have never had a leak I could attribute to the clamp.
