I too am a candidate, having all the hose I need freshly arrived from a
list vendor. I didn't get the hose clamps when I ordered it, though.
What should I be looking for, the non-perforated type clamps that
fasten the radiator hoses? There is another type of clamp on the car,
used around the fuel pump for instance, that used a crimped collar that
apparently takes a special plier design to install. Which is it?

Thanks,

Jim
