Yeah, I was going to recommend the same thing. Hose clamps are technically called worm gear clamps and can't be torqued as much as t-bolt clamps. Here's a chart if anyone is interested. It's at the bottom of the page:Don't use hose clamps, use T Bolt clamps. Strong like bull; strong enough to crush those aluminum tubes if you really wanted to, and typically come with locking hardware built in. And they're almost as cheap as hose clamps.
