Re: {Chrysler 300} clampage

The 'tricky' part for me is figuring out what size to get. Is the clamp size based on the internal diameter of the hose or the external diameter to account for hose thickness? It needs to be tight enough to seal properly, but not undersized to the point of being nearly impossible to install.

McMaster Carr has every size needed. Years ago I was selling full sets for 57/58 Chryslers. They are sold in 25 to 50 pc. packs. I don’t know where they are made, This would be a good project for Club Store. Each member with different model could provide count for each. The size repeats for every 300, fuel , oil cooler, vacuum, heater, upper and lower rad hoses.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for made in USA Corbin clamps for radiator hoses and such?

It seems the newer versions of the 'worm type' screw style clamps aren't what they used to be and either 'skip' if tightened the least bit too much, or somehow loosen or stretch over time (or maybe it's just me?)

I've heard some bad stories about modern Corbin clamps made of chinesium not being the right size or strength and how they sometimes snap rather than spring when installing them?

I have a local junkyard with many old cars in it. Thought about scavenging under hoods to see if there are any good oldies there I can grab.
