Is there a supplier where you can buy  the wire clamps individually, or as a set?  I think they are 3 and 3 1/2 inch clamps?  Mine are all rusted, and can't be cleaned & plated easily.  Worm-drive clamps are awful;  they strip/slip after you tighten them.

OTOH, can you get a complete set f hose clamps for the entire engine? 

Hose clamp count:

• 3 or 4- AFM ( 4 if you count the aftermarket cone filter)
• 4-Radiator
• 3- Valve cover breather
• 4- Aux air

This guy really needs to advertise more - https://zcardepot.com/fuel/fuel-injection?page=2

He also stocks parts for the MAF sensor.  I have never been able to locate my MAF sensor...

MSA has a clamp listed, but notes it only fits the  the AFM connections, and they don't know what you need to clamp the tube to the throttle.

Not sure if you're making a joke or making fun of zcardepot's typo.  Looks like what you asked about in your first question.

That is the clamp, but for the AFM, you need several, so you should be able to get a set instead of having to order a bunch of clamps, like you get sets of stainless screws for the engine, or bulbs for the gauges.

Send him a message and make a suggestion.  Tell him about the AFM-MAF confusion also.

Tomohawk, I have a couple of newly yellow plated wire clamps that look like the one 

pictured by Zedhead.  One measures 2 3/4" and the other measures 3 1/4".

let me know if these would work for you.

No thanks,  I use the chromed ones.

McMaster-Carr has more kinds of clamps than you could shake a snake at, if you don't need original.

I'm not interested in and worm-drive band clamps.  There's a reason you find the wire-type clamps on aircraft- because they work very well, and don't break.

You expect a lot from the world.   Doubtful that you'll find an esoteric item like these big hose clamps, already chromed for you.  Buy what you want and have them chromed, I'd say.  Looking for a set of chromed 280Z EFI air intake system clamps is a bit absurd.

If you decide to do the chroming, the first link gets you 75% of the way there, as far as starting pieces.  3 of 4.  3 x #15.

 

Practicin' ma words.

 

 

I ordered a pair of the 3-1/2 inch clamps via eBay.
