Default silicone hard pipe hoses.

I purchased a kit from a reputable vendor that came with worm gear clamps. I have had issues with the hard pipe hoses coming off under boost and feel that the clamps are simply not sufficient. They simply strip after being adjusted more then twice.
Does anyone have a source for the t bolt type clamps ? What are the proper sizes . I would rather not disassemble to order new clamps. Any help would be more then appreciated.

T-clamps are the only way to go. The worm band clamps are good for atmospheric. Be aware t-clamps can get pricey. Lindsey, Jegs, etc carry them.

These are very good aircraft clamps if you do not have room for T Bolt:

Lindsey no longer carries the t-bolt clamps. I called before posting . Asked for appropriate sizes and was told I would receive an email with the info but it has not arrived as of yet. I failed to speak to Mike or Dave.
I am hoping the clamps I ordered from the suggestion above will work just fine. The site directed me to order by year and make. seemed pretty straight forward. I suppose time will tell, The one giving me the most problems is at the throttle body.
Promise to share results. Merry Christmas ! Hope all find them selves and their family quite well .

Everything you could ever want on

Fast delivery and great prices. I have T-bolts but prefer Shawn's aircraft clamps. You will see why when you get the T-Bolts. Make sure you order the exact correct size, adjustability is not their strong point.

I buy all my t-bolt clamps at my local NAPA, no wait for shipping.
