Review on Mishimoto MMCLAMP 35 Stainless Steel T Bolt by Chris Hunt

Keep moving. These are not the T-Bolt Clamps you are looking for. Seriously, unless you drive a Civic and they're just for decoration. Do not do that. save your money Squirelly, HPS etc etc so much better. The main reason they are so terrible is spring. It shrinks and then does not return to its original shape. Therefore, each time the spring is compressed and decompressed (e.g. working on a car, removing pipes for an upgrade, etc.) the spring will require you to tighten the clamp even more the next time. Eventually (max 3-4 times for me) the clamp has to be squeezed until the spring is fully compressed just to hold the thrust. I was stranded with those $10 clamps, while the $1 worm drive clamps they replaced still work perfectly reliably now that these Mishimoto trash clamps are on the shelf. I read the negative reviews and thought it can't be that bad. That. I spent 30 dollars on them. don't make the same mistake.
