Fellas,
does someone have the proper METRIC sizes, stamped on the OEM clamps? I
am about to place an order with McMaster and figured I's slap on o few
clamps to save on shipping. Thhanks for the most timely reminding to get
the clamps, James.

As for the source, for years for my turbo hoses I used the SS steel
constant torque rolled or lined clamps from McMaster-Carr. They are
called "Type 316 Stainless Steel Smooth-Band Worm-Drive Hose Clamps" and
exist in a variety of sizes. Thery are a bit more expensive but at least
there's no minimum quantity to buy.
