I think he just wanted to put a check mark in the box beside hose clamps on his inspection list. So we compromised by using the safety wire. It's always sounded like the Canadian inspections were a bit more thorough than ours. In reality, the inspectors are only required to make sure you followed the rules for placards, proper instruments, paperwork, etc. They will certainly make recommendations of things to change, but the guy I use has inspected 3 of my planes before, and I know what to expect. He will listen to reason I think. If not, I'll put the clamps on, then take them off when he leaves :-) Actually I must admit that I did have a couple of spots where this hose is used but doesn't connect to the standard push-lok fittings in which case I did use a hose clamp to connect. Yep, I'm going to have a couple of those too, but only for things like coolant lines through the air separator tanks and such. This is becoming a real sore spot for me. I have just over 50 hours on it, but it's been now just over a year since I've flown it. Sorry to hear the tale of woe. I didn't realize it was quite that bad. Since I sold the RV-3, the weather here has been absolutely perfect. Figures... Good luck with everything.
