        Forget those OEM  clamps.  Use fuel injection style screw claps with
the rounded  edges.   Discard the plastic pipe pieces in the run to the
overflow  tanks.  Just make those runs with one long piece of fuel hose.   Tie wrap
the hoses so they do not chafe or move around.  You can also cover  the hoses
with split loom for added protection if you like.

Does  anyone know of a source for the crimp-type hose clamps that are
the  original style?  Are they worth using or should I just use  the
screw/clamp type?
