I don't see any reference to these in the archives however I believe that they were the hose clamp supplied by the factory. I did see one car at Silverstone with them. I also saw some really spiffy ones on BW's stand, chrome plated and double wide. Are these authenic? I am lead to belive that they were plain brass and about 3/8" wide. We used to have a chap here in the USA that made reproductions but alas no more. Is there another supplier in the UK?? Comments appreciated! Terry in Oakland NA0613
