Ed,
Those clamps are very common on old cars. Many restoration hardware
suppliers carry them. I see them at swap meets frequently, when hardware
suppliers come. They are usually priced at $ 1 or 2 each. These fell out of
favor because they are difficult to install/remove.
For my 442, I buy parts from Mike Fusick, 860-623-1583,
http://www.fusick.com/
His catalog lists “tension spring hose clamp” HC59 for $1.25 ea. Make sure
you get the ¾ inch (hose inside diameter) size, since Oldsmobiles used both
¾ and 5/8 on different hoses so they didn’t get connected to the wrong
locations. I had a few 5/8 size left over from my 442 restoration and they
are identical to the original ones on my 56 Dodge heater hoses. Those hoses
were also original with the Mopar P/N stenciled on them, when I got the car.
Who’s the guy that wants $15?

Subject: [FWDLK] spring clamps 57 Plym 318
Hello List
I feel embarassed to ask this question,,,but here goes........
Does anyone have 2 spare spring clamps for the 'U' shaped heater bypass on
the 318 engine.
The only fellow who I can find with them wants $15 minimum.
Not one auto store in my area has any,,they threw them out years ago.
I think they are for 3/4" hose
Thank you
