Local source for IC couplers
I am looking for silicon IC coupler locally. Does anyone have any leads other than Alamo? I am replacing the coupler from the top of the IC to the IC pipe that is mounted to the radiator core support. I think that the stock coupler is ballooning and thus causing the pipe to blow off (it currently has a t-bolt clamp tightened as tight as I want to go on aluminum)

if its popping off, tighten it tighter. aluminum is pretty strong. i usually tighten clamps so tight that with a ratching wrench i can't tighten it any tighter. obviously if your using a 3/8 ratchet you can go tighter, but i know that my method works up to 40psi
