Message I'm in the middle of swapping out every single boost/vacuum line with new hose from Hose Techniques. The previous owner ran new hose at some point in the cars life but trusted them to stay on with no clamps. This has worked for the most part, but the new hose is just a tad too loose to stay on in-defiantly.

I've noticed there are several Constant Tension clamps in various places under the hood so I tried to find a local retailer that had the sizes I need.... no luck. These are the clamps I'm leaning towards using.

What kind of clamps do any of you recommend and where (online) can I order them. I've been down the racks of O'Reilly's and Autozone but found nothing I felt would serve me well. I do NOT want to use worm gears as these hoses are silicone and the slotted band on worm gear clamps eats into the hose. Hose Techniques says to use zip ties... that seems rather stupid to me.

Thanks in advance for any help!
