Factory style spring type "constant tension" hose clamps question (1 Viewer)

[JLH911]

Does anyone know what size of these spring type clamps(metal band type) are required for most of the heater hoses? I.D. is about 5/8", but does one get at 5/8" hose clamp?

Also, anyone know where to get them and not necessarily from the dealer? I'd like USA made if possible.

But them from Joey at Wits End!

Use either of these. OEM and made in Japan.

I have not had good luck with the SBC type hoses shown above. Not sure why. I now use only the other two types.

They’ve been around forever. I just don’t like them because they look like they should be on a 40 series.

Agreed. I used a few when rebuilding my engine a few years ago. Had a couple of leaks immediately and did not trust them after that...

Yup! I finally found this post where your clamps are mentioned late last night. What about for the other coolant hose that's next to the PHH and goes to the throttle body?
