Radiator Hose Protector

[mat4uscg]

I hit a deer and bent up my radiator hose protector, (the only damage). I have a new one but since the old one was mashed up a lot I do not know wether the hose clamps were intended to clamp over the spring protector or does the spring reside in between the hose clamps?

Thanks

On my 02 the spring is between the clamps an the clamps are on each side.Art

The spring is held in place by a couple of turns going over the clamp not under it between the hose and clamp
