Replacement Radiator Hose and/ or Clamps

[TLUNNUK]

My cheap home depot hose clamps have cut into my radiator hose and now it has started leaking (had to over-tighten to stop leaking in the first place).

Will replace the hoses and clamps, but I am wondering if anyone can make suggestions for the very best replacements.

Might get the hoses from SOR unless someone can make a better suggestion...braided stainless steel prehaps

unsure on the hose clamps. I have read a few suggestions in the forum for "Type 316 Stainless Steel Smooth-Band Worm-Drive"

Would the constant-tension t-bolt work better?

what about spectre hose clamps or a compression fitting?

suggestions please. I only like to get the very best for my 40

OE is available... I bought a complete set last fall along with the clamps from CDan.
