Do Canadians break windshields more often? Is it a "thing"?

Mind boggling questions for sure, eh?

Danny.  It's all those roving bands of Vikings and Goth warriors that we have up here.  Add to that ice pellets the size of footballs; giant wild moose on the roads; dog sleds throwing up baseball size rocks, and it's pretty tough driving up here. 

And that's in July...

I had a nice visit today by a lad from somewhere over near the Big Smoke and he had recently bought a Speedster from someone nearby me that I had heard about but have never seen. Two cracks in that windshield apparently. The Black one from Metcalfe I think, Ray. 

I had a spare windshield in the basement that I had bought from Carey / Beck a couple of years back and sold it to him for my cost less shipping. A knowledgeable and cool guy who used a 944 as a delivery vehicle....Win win.

lol, Well I think he was trying to sell it on Kijiji at one time.  

Good for both of you.

BTW< Today, I was hitting every gaz line clamp for tightness and my main line running to the engine compartment goes from metal to rubber and it seemed loose but I could keep going and going.. is there a time I could get it too tight?  I better get another clamp at NAPA before this trip... Any suggestions?  Maybe I should put two of them... 

I avoid hose clamps like the plague so many of the el'cheapo's cut into the hose. ..then you're standing there adjusting your mixture screws and realize your standing in a large puddle of gas which pairs well with the interior of your home...NOT ! I recommend NAPA 705- 1226 fuel injection hose clamps $ 1.29 each.

Yes that is what I have but it really seemed to have no bottom ....  Thanks Alan.

Quick check of the NAPAONLINE site shows the following:

Hose Size          NAPA P/N

1/4"                     705 - 1225'

5/16"                   705 - 1226

3/8"                     705 - 1227

Those were the only three that showed up.   They probably have other sizes (like for heater hoses, etc.)

Buy a few of each so you'll have them on hand.  Toss those el-cheapo worm-drive clamps that cut up your hoses!

Remember - that style shown immediately above is good for barbed fittings and NAPA has those, too, color-coded by hose size from 3/16" (string trimmer fuel) up to 3/4".

Happy Clamping!
