If you look close to mine you'll see a zip tie, just chokes the hose, I had [and still do] it like that for some time but use the wire method too.

The wire method works well. I have used it for years.

supereal>>> secure them with a hose clamp placed around the hose just over the stat>>>

Old Henry>>>hold the stat in place is put a hose clamp above it and crank it down>>>

TonyM>>> I think some one on FordBarn suggested using a second clamp to hold the thermostat in place. This is what I did. No more problem.>>>

mit31>>>The only thing I can think of is a hose clamp above the stat>>>
