Another tip when considering fitting hoses to cast parts is to smooth out any cast parts that stick up above the rounded surface (especially new castings) and for rough corroded ones just clean thoroughly and smother with JB Weld then make round again with strips of abrasive cloth part wraped round and pulled back and forth by the ends.......then the clamps of choice will stand a better chance of sealing with only moderate or low pressure applied. Obvious I know but I struggled to get water tight a new casting .....in a difficult position on another make car Austin related......till I finally gave up and removed casting and fettled it as above as I should have done in the first place.
