Pictured are the last 2 clamps I have that would seem to be for my new lower rad hose. I bought the kit from Dale's Cuda Shop with the intent of replacing those typical hose clamps with these whenever a new hose was being put on. One is absolutely too small and I'm not 100% confident the larger will seal well enough. It does slip over the hose and does compress the rubber somewhat. I don't imagine there's one that falls in between these 2 sizes, or is there???

Basically I'd like to get a couple OEM ones or at least one of the larger ones. Does anyone have them? Shipping would be to Canada, L2P2T7

Thanks, John

I also use 3M weather-strip adhesive on all the rubber hoses with those clamps...gives me an extra feeling of security, and "touch wood" I've never had any leaks since...
I agree John, the larger clamp you have pictured seems to be a tad too big, but I've used them before  :fingerscrossed:

Thanks for the info Alan. Would you have a source for the larger one?

  Quick search found this 2-1/8 clamps https://retro-motive.com/2-1-8-lower-radiator-hose-clamps-for-chrysler-qty-2-689/

I bought a whole wack of them in bulk years ago, but I'm all out now...sorry

@Jay Bee (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/jay-bee_351) - I bought an unused older stock hose clamp from Bill Evans at Carlisle this summer.  He might be willing to measure it for you.  He had plenty and they were $2 each.

Issue I have is the small block bypass hose. Unable to find that yet

The link Bullitt posted has them, scroll down.

I just found out (from Bill Evans) that there's identifier stampings on these. Mine are 30 & 34.

Let me guess...you need a 32 ? :brainiac:

Bill doesn't think a "32" is available. I should have asked him if that was in reproduction or even back in the day from the factory, but it didn't occur to me at the time. He did say that the 34 is what's being used for lower rad hoses.
