[s-cars] Clamps for Sampco hoses (yep, again:) )

[Tom Green]

That's good advice from Adam.  I would hit that web site, Ivan, if  
what you want
are Breeze CT clamps.   I happen to think they are the best clamp  
available for
this application.
The Breeze clamps are catalogued under BK 705-1500 series part  
numbers in
the NAPA catalog.  BK 705-1508 for CT300 and BK 705-1509 for CT350.   
I do
not get anything online, and the last of those were $4.49 ea at the  
store.

If the t-bolt clamps are your choice, I have 5 of the larger ones  
from ECS available
for the shipping.  The smaller ones are just plain clamps.  I think  
these will work
fine, they are a little harder to get started and you can over-torque  
either brand.
