Ran into a snag on these hoses on the system as most of them are getting harder to find OEM. I decided to give the Gates hoses a shot since I can atleast get the complete set of rubber hoses. The issue as you all know is the spring clamps! I want to replace all the old clamps with new ones and I don't want to use them screw clamps. Does anyone know of a place that has good enough quality spring clamps that will do the job and what sizes I need and how many? I think I know the hose sizes as there seems to be 4 different thicknesses. 3/4 5/16 5/8 and 23/32 so wondering do I just order clamps that are them same sizes or do I go a little smaller for each to give it stronger tension. Hopefully this does not sound like a dumb question and someone has some insight. I am not talking about the radiator hoses just talking about all the hoses that do not come with the upper and lower hose assemblies.
