Hose clips

[Kongsodoken]

I bet no one knows the answer to this[].

What quantity and size of hose clips do I need to replace all of them in a 951 engine bay??

Anyone have a source for the thin style German hose clips?

I either buy steel hose clamps and re- plate so they are gold

Or I buy the news style black clamps that seem to look good

Any other ideas

[8D] I think I've lost the plot spent all week trying to choose hose clamps[8D]

They look good!

Use stainless steel, they will last and look original, black may look bling IMHO.

Were they silver or gold when the car was new?

I replaced all my hose clamps with 'Norma' ones from here:

Expensive, but they were identical to the original ones I took off the car (except the original ones were not stainless but plated steel and had started to rust).

I have bought original Norma clamps from local parts store. Good quality and price is about the same as other clamps have.

These are poor, I use hoseclips all day and I've not seen a good pressed type. Unfortunately they are cheeap so we are now being supplied them!
