As above, want to replace the crappy jubilees that I have on.They are 55-70mm, what size Mikalors did people go for?Anyone used some of the cheaper ebay alternatives and can comment on them

I would not recommend using t-bolts for anything larger than 2" silicone piping.
The t-bolts do not create pressure all the way round the circumference. They just pull one side against the opposite side.
They are difficult to get full sealing pressure 360deg.

So what do you suggest?

People complain of jubilee clips popping off at higher boost.Anyone had problems with the Mikalors then as I thought they were supposed to solve this.
