I ordered the same thing except the cat is in Sublime thread (with white eye). Can't wait to get them!

I got the door sill plates from Hen Sun . Nice and we couldn't build the shipping crate in USA for $59. I don;t know if anyone put a magnet to them but high quality stainless. Magnet no sticky. Kinda of funny, our great cars are built in Canada with a motor from Mexico and sill guards from China. That made me sad today when I was looking at a 1929 model T today all original running gear. I guess I'm just old.

Greetings from Arizona! A couple observations: first, if something is stainless, then I think a magnet would stick. It's brass and aluminum that magnets don't stick, if I'm not mistaken. Second, on my window sticker it states the car was built in Canada, and the six-speed transmission originated in Mexico, but the engine was from the USA!

I would get the Vibration-Resistant Worm-Drive Hose and Tube Clamps in 304 stainless. You don't need the 316 for this application. This is a high torque clamp.

If you need some help let me know. Need the diameter of the hose and we can get the exact part number. I'm not near my car or I would measure the hose for you.

So these?

McMaster-Carr 5661K13

They look similar to the cheap clamps you can get at the local parts store? I do trust ya though!

Won't link it!

A few good things for my Hellcat today, the radiator extra hose clamp so it don't blow off.
My door sills came today and were installed. I hit 500 Miles today and gave her a wash. Now Im just waiting for my head rests from Jina, they should be here on Monday View attachment 7539 View attachment 7540 View attachment 7541

Shall we just start collecting some country flag stickers to show where all the stuff came from and put them on the back bumper?

There should be a rule that you cannot put bumper stickers on the Hellcat or you have to give it back!!! Lol

MVT, I'm really digging those Headrests! They look spectacular, as if they came straight from the factory without any third party intervention. Could you kindly PM me Jina's contact info. so i that i could get her to do the head rests for me as well? Im also planning to get some seat belt pads embroidered with the cat logo in torred red lol. I already picked up some amazing Shelby Belt Pads in Race Yellow for my GT500 from the Amazing Shelby Heritage Center/Store in Las Vegas. Wish there was a store from where we could pick up all these cat goodies.

The Video of how it is made showed Mexico for the motor and a magnet will not stick to good stainless. It will stick to your home depot grill.

Went to the BMW dealer and got 2 (was not 100% of the size) hose clamps as pictured. The funny thing was they gave them to me!

Love those guards, but they're missing something....

Well I got the 1 size larger hose clamp just like yours and put it on just now. Kind of a pain, but I was able to slip it together then slide it down the hose. I also rotated it more upwards so I was able to use a long skinny screwdriver to tighten it.

Were you able to torque it to what the recommendation was from Fnkychkn? How do you know its right? I am just waiting for my dealer, I can see me screwing it up.

I took a good guess. The way it is on there I doubt I could have over tightened it

I just don't know how I figure out 26 pounds of torque. I see me screwing something up. I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow. I am sure they hate me, but pretend I'm their favorite. LOL
