Default Stainless hose clamps?

Im looking to replace all my factory hose clamps under the hood with a t-bolt style stainless clamp. Has anyone else done this?

I've got quite a few of these style clamps that I had chromed back in the day. I don't use them anymore, as they are a bit overkill, but did look good when I had them installed.

I took my t-clamps on my Cold air intake / MAF setup and had them chromed, They look killer with everything else. I think there was 6 of them.

I've done it but not using the large T bolt clamps, just the regular stainless band clamps that have the small flathead screwdriver/hex bolt. The radiator hose ones are a little too large, but I have a box filled with these clamps so I'll find the proper size the next time I do a coolant flush. Sorry about the dirty engine bay, it's been a while since I last cleaned it:

The tbolt clamps sound like a good project, and that siliconintakes place is within driving distance. Nice shiny radiator hose lee.

You could also look at the Spectre billet clamps.

I used them on my car and they look great. I did have to put new clamps in them as the ones shipped seemed to be junk, but the billet part looked great.

You can see one in this picture that shows my power steering cooler.

You can also see I used the T Bolts on my air ducting.




If you want better pics the intake is off the car and I could go take some pics of the clamps.

I'd love to use these clamps from siliconintakes!

Anyone know the sizes needed for the larger/smaller coolants lines and all??

Where did you get those, and do you remember what sizes you used?
