C2: Source for "correct" L79 bypass hose clamps?

[Gary B.]

Does anyone know of a source for side-screw hose clamps for the bypass hose on a 1966 L79 car that won't get an NCRS judging deduct? I was told yesterday that Paragon used to sell some decent repro clamps but demand was too low based on the cost and they recently discontunued production. Is anyone familiar with the appearance and correctness of the Dr. Rebuild or LIC item?

Thanks,

C2: Source for "correct" L79 bypass hose clamp

Geoffrey,

I'm not looking for a guarantee of NCRS "correctness". My goal is to find out if someone makes an L79 bypass hose clamp that is less likely to get a points deduct. In know I can buy a clamp at my corner auto store that may look nothing like an orignal clamp and will certainly get a points deduct. I know I can buy a Paragon clamp that may look closer to my original, but still will likely get a points deduct. What I'm trying to find out is, can I buy a new clamp from any company that looks more similar to my orginal clamp and that is less likely to get a points deduct than the Paragon product. That is why I used quotes around the word correct in my subject line. I know there are often no sources for 100% original looking parts.
