Using these hose clips is easy. Just place them around the radiator hoses of your 1999 - 2003 Gas Gas TX, TXT, or TXT Edition models. Make sure they're tightened properly to ensure a good seal. When it comes to maintenance, since they're made of high - quality stainless steel, they can withstand various conditions. But it's still a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, replace the clips promptly. And remember, these clips are made to fit specific hoses, so always use them with AS3 Performance or OEM hoses for the best results. Also, keep in mind that the photos are just for showing what the product looks like, not an exact representation of the clips you'll receive.
