Everyone says replace the hose clamps with American made stainless steel hose clamps. I live in Iowa where can I order MADE in the USA hose clamps?Appreciate your time and many thanks!

If you have a Napa near you they probably carry a better hose clamp. Not positive but Ideal brand used to be domestic made clamps.

Both Ideal and Breeze are domestic made clamps. Check your local parts stores for either brand and you should be fine. Spanky is correct, you can also go to MSCdirect.com and order them but I am sure you can find them locally.

I like the T Bolt clamps. They are little more difficult to get the right size. They
don't have as large a range in adjustment as the screw type clamps.

The T type create a much better load and won't stop like the worm gear clamps do for sure Rick. Sometimes space can be an issue thought. There is also a constant torque clamp that is spring loaded and even better yet!!

They don't seem to be anymore expensive either.

These were designed to be used with Turbos and other higher pressure applications but work well where space is not an issue.
