OEM Hose Clamp Resource?

[Peter M.]

Anyone know of a resource for the black OEM hose clamps used on L98 C4s?

Pete,
Is there no manufacturer's logo or mark on them?

Good question, Terry. Looks like IDEAL made in the USA.

Ideal clamps are commonly available at your FLAPS (Friendly Local Auto Parts Store). the challenge might be turning them black, or finding black ones.

Those pesky C4 judges will know they are supposed to be marked IDEAL Made in the USA, so those marks will be important.

Yes, that is my problem. I can't find the black ones. I guess I have to go back to the salvage yards.

I seem to think Ideal is still in business, why not try to contact them to see if they could tell you who might handle black clamps in your area.

- They are still in business and have many worm gear hose clamp offerings. I sent them an email and am waiting to hear about availability of clamps with a black finish.

Let us all know how that works out. I am sure there are others who would like the information.
