I just did the fuel hoses in my syncro last night, and used these
clamps from Van-Cafe:

Here they are on NORMA's web site:

They are Swedish ABA clamps and look to be BOMB PROOF. Seriously thick
"aluminized" metal and rolled edges - I suspect that whatever you
ordered from a list vendor are the ones to use.
