hose clamps
« on: February 16, 2018, 16:29:05 »
Where is the best place to buy correct hose clamps for our cars? There seems to be a wide range of prices and supply on this item.

Can't speak to price, but Authentic Classics has the closest I've seen for the the Norma style clamps (and usually a pretty good selection).

I think Pete Lesler still sells clamp kits.

Auth. Classics also has the 5 and 9 mm banding and cotter style pins.

I'll contact Pete. Would you happen to know his user name?

Dan, may want to look at these. I am not sure if they are correct, but they look very close to those from Authentic, I think.

The 9mm are the correct Norma clamps for our cars. I have bought from this vendor before and if you contact them before you buy they can change the obviously wrong shipping calculation.

Dan, during the PUB Virginia 2017 Peter had hose clamp sets for sale.
