I have searched thru about 20+ Hose clamp posts for a definitive list of all the hose clamps under hood and found these two (below). Do we or should we have a sticky item on this? Its seems like the number will range (Beru, Cotter Pins or not, and # Yr, options P/S?)
Is Peter Lesller still supplying these? Or is there a supplier that sells sets? (Winzer site has sets for Norma clamps in Qty. min of 25?)

I counted 55 clamps. To whit (using the very technical term of small, medium, large, etc. - and in no particular order) Also, I have an early 250SL with power steering and automatic. I don't believe any of the oil or fuel lines had clamps, they were fabricated lines with metal fittings for the connections.
Radiator lower hose - 2 large
Radiator lower small hose from expansion tank, 2 medium near the radiator and 2 more at the tank.
Overflow tank, line to top of radiator - 2 small
Overflow tank, clamps holding it in place - 2 XL
Radiator hose at top of radiator - 2 large
Hose at Thermostat - 2 med
Oil cooler line on left side of engine - 2 medium
Oil cooler line on right side of engine - 2 medium
Oil cooler line at Y - 2 med
Oil cooler line on upstream of Y - 2 med
Oil cooler left side of engine rear of cooler - 2 small
Heater (underneath) 2 med
Air cleaner - 2 XL
Fuel injenction thermostat - 6 small
Pwr steering 6 med
Breather pipe across the top of the engine - 3 med
Vacuum line to brake booster - 6 small (these are cotter key style on my car)
Cooling coil at air inlet - 4 small
Air idle adjustment hose - 2 small
