Default Best brand and source for T-bolt clamps

I need to order some more clamps and was curious the best souce. I had a bunch from an order of silcone couplers from Hose Techniques. Their couplers were good butr the T-bolt clamps were not very good and would strip out after a few uses.

Also I did not know if there were some that were less bulky as my clareance is tight in some areas, esp around the IC and headlight bar.

Thanks
Steve

For low-profile clamps, these work great:

I always had good luck with American made Clampco models and we use them everywhere at work. Very high quality, fit and finish is excellent, and mil-spec is available also.

Yep I bought them for the turbo intake
