I believe they are these thermoplastic clamps by Gates Racing.

Tim,
Here I come to save the day!!! If you need those clamps I sell them in all sizes to fit 5/8 heater hose to a few sizes larger than the upper rad. hose.
Let me know or call me at the shop tomorrow? 818-701-6147

Didn't Rupp say he got those at Home Depot?

I have them on my car, they are from Gates and I got mine at the local NAPA.

Just wondering how expensive these clamps are, they look great.

Cool deal, nice to have another source.

And yes, they are Gates hoses.. they work great, have never leaked and cost under $3 each. What's not to like?

do you have to like heat shrink them or just put it on start the engine and let the heat from the coolant do it?
