Hose clamps
What are the options for hose clamps? The regular band/screw type are okay looking if they're carefully sized (and perhaps have the tag end trimmed and refinished).
The two-wire type used on original Mustangs are nice, but they're hard to find in more than one or two sizes, and seem to be all coated steel that eventually rusts. Stainless would be nice.
The Spectre faux hose-end clamps are the only ones I know of that pretend to be attractive, and there's something JC-Whitney about them. I used a couple on my new PCV installation and can't decide if they look right or not.
What options are there for hose clamps that would look right on a Cobra?

I like this style.

Well that link does not take you to the right page.
Let's see if this one does it. If not, go to page 255 of the catalog and look at the T-Bolt style clamps.

I like the T-bolt ones. Hard to find in sizes under 1-1/2 or so, but there are some littlies there. Aces.

Those are very pretty stuff. As I have no billet and little polished, I lean more towards the nice-functional-industrial stuff like those nifty stainless t-bolts.
The regular worm-drive stuff is just too... Kragen's for me.

Gunner, I sent you a PM there is no short answer to this one.

Take a look at ROTOR CLAMP (OEM supplier) for some clamped joint schooling at this link, informative site. I will eventually change all of mine to this spring band style when time permits. These guys know clamps.

I changed all water hose clamps to the T-bolt style this year. Summit Racing has them for a fair price.

Does Summit have them in the small sizes, though? I have several small tubes that need clamps and I'd like them all to match.
