Hello

i am looking for original hose clamps for my 1972 240z...the type with the ROUND HEAD Phillips screw. See photos. 
I need the 1/4 and 5/16” for the fuel lines and the four clamps for the upper and lower radiator hoses.

Thanks

Jim

 

Aside from sourcing original clamps and having them re-plated. there are limited choices for correct originality.

@Zupis a expert on the oem clamps, maybe he will comment on his sources.

Didn't motorman7 have an Ebay source?

I think you are right Charles, only issue is the larger sizes have a hex head and slot as opposed to round with jis / philips style head.

I have the hex head style clamps...they are readily available, but I have been assured by a reputable Z restorer that the round head Phillips screw is correct for the radiator hoses.

I may have what you need, both fuel and otherwise.  Do you have an original fuel one to look at?  They differ in style from the larger clamps.  Here is what the ones on my car's fuel lines look like, though they were silver in color from the factory:

i assume the clamps you have pictured are Phillips head. Cannot really tell from the photo. Let me do some more checking and I will get back.

Thanks

Yep. They are.

Thanks for the response. I do not believe the gold plating is correct for my 72, so I will pass. If you have any silver clamps let me know.

Yep. They were originally silver, and I will be re-plating mine to silver instead of gold.  Jim, if you confirm fuel pump clamp style, let me know.  I have many different size OEM clamps in silver that I stripped from Datsun's years ago.

Here are some shots I took today. I am told these clamps are correct ECXEPT they are the newer hex head style. All else would be same but PAN head. I believe there are three different size clamps for the fuel lines at the fuel pump. The hoses are 5/16th, 1/4 and 3/16 OD, I believe. Thanks

 

Most of my spares.  Note that the ones which are dull grey are newer oem ones with the hex head.  However, I have many here with the correct pan head and those screws can be swapped.  Left-most are too big in diameter or wrong style.  I need to know what diameter you are looking for specifically.  

The two gold ones are the newer style with hex heads, but I believe I have the proper screws in the right size to swap to those clamps.  The four grey ones in the second column from the right look about right for the radiator, and I know I have the proper screws for those.  

You would need to send these off for re-plating in zinc (clear - which is silver in color) if you want them to look like factory.
