Hi Eric,

I think it's unlikely you will find the better kind of worm clamp that covers the worm-gear slots at a NAPA. Van Cafe calls these clamps "liner clamps" and they sell an assortment of sizes, in stainless steel.

I think you would need the following clamps but you should measure the diameter of the hoses on your van to be sure.

SAE #20 Clamp Range: 21-44mm
SAE #24 Clamp Range: 27-51
