Route the full-flow oil hoses through The Claw so they are held clear of the header tubes along their whole length, then run the engine to temperature and check for leaks and that no hose touches the exhaust. Re-check the exhaust nuts after the first heat cycles, as exhaust gaskets settle. Hose sizes vary between full-flow kits; if you are not sure your lines will fit, send us your hose size before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does The Claw do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt clamps the hoses of a full-flow oil system and holds them away from hot exhaust tubing so they cannot melt, chafe or burn through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does it mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the #4 cylinder exhaust studs of an air-cooled VW Type 1 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work with heater boxes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Claw will not work with heater boxes.
