Ron,
Here is the link to a site that sells British hose clamps, etc. that was
posted before:
http://www.englishparts.com/products/CLAMP--RADIATOR-HOSE-WIRE-TYPE--1-38-TO-1-916-IN-HOSE/7275/326-430.html
The double wire radiator hoses are #326-430 (but specified for Healy,
Sprite, Midget, etc.) are probably the same, @ $2.05 each.
The water valve clamps are $1.40 each.
Lots of other MG, Healey, and Triumph bits and pieces. Believe they
are the same as the Tiger clamps , watch sizes!
Let us know how your project ends up, and read the post about TBON
quote, below:
TBON (The Book of Norman) shows the water and oil cap vent hoses with
the "wire-type", and heater as the simple plain clamp band. He says
(pp153):
1. "All 1/2" hoses were CAD plated English "band clamps.".
2. "All 5/8" hose clamps used CAD plated English "double wire clamps"
at all but three locations."
3. "The water pump by-pass hose was clamped with CAD plated Ford
screw clamps at both ends"
4. "The heater core return hose was clamped with a CAD plated Ford
screw clamped with clamp at the elbow manifold fitting.
5. "Upper and lower radiator hoses were clamped with CAD plated
English double wire clamps"
