[Bonzi Lon]

What kind of $'s are they talking.

Casey

They ranged from $1.88, small fuel hose, to $3.79 for the radiator hoses. Still waiting for the 'Brown Truck'.

We are in process of making all 9 different hose clamp set for 240Z cars in Silver zink. Late71 production and newer cars had yellow zink, but we decided to make them in silver.

You can alway get them plated in yellow zink.

They will be ready around Christmas time. They will be very close to the right size to match the original ones.

The genuine Nissan hose clamps from Courtesy arrived yesterday. All 3 different sizes have the hex head, dull zinc and might be a little heavier in comparison. Oh well, they are better than the worm screw clamps on now. I will be waiting to see what esprist has made up for a full set.

Also picked up on a new braided PVC hose, 11828-E4620, for $14.39. Still need the braided heater & booster hoses. Little by little.

If you want to go with the round head, I would go to the nuts and bolts department of your local ace hardware. Take your hex head and clamp and match up the screw length and threads. My local ace has lots of metric sizes in zinc and stainless. It is not going to be original but more original looking than hex and they are cheap. You also only have to buy the amount you need not a box of 20. I have never had success replicating bolts, nuts and screws at any of the auto parts stores.

Are the clamp sets now available?

I didn't see them on his website, yet. Go look at it. There are plenty of drool-worthy items there.

Try your local aquatic centre. In the UK, garden fish ponds have wire re-inforced pastic hose for the pumps, they sell the wire hose clips for pennies, it's been a long term 'best kept secret' over here.

If there's a local mechanic who works on old Nissans or other Japanese cars from the era, it's likely he may have some in a box in his shop. Anything can be re-plated to look like new, so long as it's not too far gone. Roadster clamps will probably be identical in appearance.

Now that I remember, I believe I bought some last year from a Nissan dealer.

I did look at it and didn't see them. I was hoping they weren't listed yet. He has some great stuff. I'm trying to decide if i should spend the money on the hoses and original clamps.

There are lots of cheap clamps available but thats the first time i heard that one. i was thinking of going all original when i put the rebuilt motor back in along with braided hoses.
