Seagull - did you remove the springs from your old hoses and install in new silicone ones? Is it ok to put metal springs in silicone hoses (are they tough enough?)
Also, did you safety wire the 54205K17 clamps at all or do they stay tensioned in vibration on their own?
I used the original spring. I bent the raw end inward to be sure it would not ever touch the silicone. If you twist the spring in the direction to reduce its diameter while installing it goes much easier. I did not use any safety wire on any of the clamps.
