'68 Power Steering Control Valve Boot Clamp

The Chassis Service Manual (page 9-35) indicates there is a clamp that has a bolt and nut. Where can I purchase one?

The clamp with the bolt and nut was a SERVICE only piece. The factory-installed clamp used a "bend over tab" sort of closure. All of the reproduction-type clamps I've seen mimic the factory-installed clamp.

Still want the clamp with the bolt and nut? Look for a GM kit of GM #5691690 (discontinued) or some of the aftermarket kits from auto parts stores probably contain this style clamp.

Thank You Joe. In the mean time I took a couple of hose clamps and compressed the boot & replacement clamp which enabled me to crimp it. Thanks, Richard
