    Hi everyone.

    I'm having issues with my 360 throwing CEL's with a code of P1126. This is basically saying that the mixture is too lean for bank 2. I've tried swapping the pre-cat O2 sensors between banks but still get CEL. Was thinking it might be the MAF sensor on bank 2 so wanted to swap them around and see if the code switches to bank 1 before outlaying the $$ on a new sensor that may not fix the problem.

    The problem I have is the ear clamps that hold the sensor to the rubber, corrugated hose leading to the plenum. I haven't been able to find them anywhere, and although I can use the normal, adjustable clamps for the initial swap, would like to be able to put the ear ones on eventually. I can get smaller ones, but nobody seems to have the 87mm ones that are on it.

    Has anyone managed to find these anywhere in Oz? My alternative is to order them from Eurospares or Scuderia Parts, but seems a bit ridiculous not to be able to source them locally.

    Thanks,
    Jon

    I think Eurospares is free shipping until the 28 th Feb Adrian. So best you order before then otherwise it will cost you an extra 50 quid......

    Thanks Gary - hadn't thought about trying mechanics. Might give mine a call first, but will keep Pierre in mind. Jon

    Jon, call Nathan at Zagame, he'll get you these clamps over from Italy if they don't have them in stock. Price wise Zag is very competitive.

    Why are you using those cheap crap clamps, only because they are what Ferrari use?, they only used them for speed of assembly.
    Norma clamps are the way to go, similar ones are used on the V12 cars.
    Don’t use the ones with slotted thread section, Norma clamps don’t cut what’s under them.

    maybe he wants to enter a concours or better yet get classiche. You don't want to lose points from not having the correct hose clamps:D

    imagine a 360 with a red book:D

    Unfortunately post 456 V12's use the same single-use clamps. You're correct about assembly speed, but they also cannot loosen and provide an instant indication of failure. e.g. they're much safer for fuel lines than a screw clamp.

    You're right, I'm only wanting to use them as that is what Ferrari uses, and I want the car to be as original as possible. That said, I'm prepared to look at alternatives, but looked at the Norma website and they seem to make about 40 different clamps, including ear clamps, so not sure which one in particular you are recommending.

    Hose clamps do the job ok but they are a bit wider than the factory clamps.
