I am not going factory on my project, and I don't want the pep boys el cheapo clamps..

Anyone know where I can get some nice decent street rods/custom style fancy radiator hose clamps??

I use ABA clamps that have a smooth inside and flared edges so as not to cut into the hose.

Another way is Gates sells black plastic thermo wraps that you heat and they shrink to make the clamp. VERY clean looking.

Google: Baker Precision

The billet specialties ones are nice, but too darn expensive!! I'd have $200 in hose clamps under the hood!!

The summit T bar ones are a nice happy medium that won't look "parts house-ish"

I looked at the heatshrink style ones, but just don't trust that, just the old school gearhead in me resisting that!

I use heat shrink clamps on large diesel trucks. they work great. The hotter they get the tighter they seal. Never had one leak, but are a one time use.

I always wondered about those heat shrink ones as well, they seemed pretty cool..
