I like the hose method.But make sure it is repositioned correctly, a slight twist at the clamp can bring the hose forward a touch and it may contact the belly pan fastener/clip and wear.Screw should be a short one.

It may not look like it contacts at rest on the stand but riding at speed there can be enough pressure to push the fastener/clip against the hose.

That angled edge of the clip was probably the culprit? I remember rounding it off on the bench grinder as an extra caution.At 21psi cooling system pressure them hoses most probably expand some.
