70 expansion tank hose clamps: Wittek?

[Pat M.]

Should the expansion-tank-to-radiator hose clamps for a 70 SB be Wittek clamps and/or contain wording? The Judging Guide only says it's a "single screw style" clamp, and the illustration shows a clamp with no visible wording. Yet it seems like I've seen some hoses that used Witteks.

If you are referring to Wittek-style TOWER clamps, that style was not used for the supply tank-to-radiator hose for 1970. The band style clamp with single side screw was the style used. These may also have been manufactured by Wittek, though.

Hi Joe. I knew they should be band-style clamps, I was just wondering if they should be Wittek clamps.

Yes, they were manufactured by Wittek and are so-embossed. I just checked some.
