[C320-list] SS Clamp Failure

[Barry Fahrer]

I am very surprised that your clamps failed.  How did they fail ?  I guess 
it is possible that the acid fumes from the battery could be causing a 
problem.
I have only seen some cheap hose clamps fail because the metal around the 
gear base couldn't withstand the tension.
You might want to talk to the manufacturer and find out if they
are warranted at all. BARRY --... ...--
