Default Interest in gold (zinc) complete clamp kits 951/944?

I'm thinking about selling complete gold (zinc plated) hose clamp kits for 951/944s. I'm curious if people would be interested as I would have to buy them in bulk ($$$).

They would be German style clamps and around $20-25 a set..

Yeah...the flat OEM kind. Ha..the supplier had them listed as "German" style.

Didn't Porsche's originally have Zinc plated clamps?

Well here is a picture of the LR clamp kit...but mine would also include the intercooler pipe/water neck clamps. If someone could supply the diameter and widths, I would give them a free kit or 2. I am just gauging interest at this point...It will be pretty expensive as I have to buy a ton of them.

I think it is sort of like the Dirty Sanchez but you drink a nice German beer at the same time.

Would be good to have a definitive list for reference anyhow.

A few of the clamps were originally cadmium plated, but the worm gear style clamps are stainless. At least the vast majority of mine are. I wouldn't want them in yellow zinc.
