The (hose) clamps are the correct 1/4", and are the ones supplied with
the boot/trunion overhaul kit.
The boots very reliably self destruct, at least, on any car that gets to
be driven regularly.
Today, my parts shop is supposed to receive a couple CV joint boots, one
of which is hoped to be able to fit over both connection ends.
If this deal works out, I'll provide some pics and info on the I.D. of
the subject boot.

Maybe you didn't get it installed right. Hose clamps don't work too well;
they're too wide.

I've bought those re-popped dust boots, several times, now, and the
disintegrated-remains on the car, now,
is one of those 'worthless' re-pops.
Even if the CV joint-guy goes bad, it's nice to know that a replacement
piece
is right at a local parts house, and that the replacement of that guy
will not involve a lot of purchase-money, installation time,
and installation CUSSING.
Neil Vedder----and, ain't nobody ever gonna get so far under the car so
as to notice what type of dust boot
that you are running.

As we all should know, this tubular-triangular corrugated-rubber guy
is not a grease seal, but serves to protect....
(very temporarily, before it quickly self-destructs, and which also
happens to be a beotch to install).... the driveline's
front trunion-joint, from road dirt, etc.
I've checked around, and can't seem to find one for sale, right now.
I'm thinking that I could get a local leather shop to make a fully
functional facsimile of this guy, which might lace-up
around itself, as I have heard that there have been leather dust boots
created, in the past.
If someone will lend me an example, I will have my shop (if it can be
done, and I don't see why it couldn't be
done) use it as a template to make up a "permanent" leather dust boot,
and will give the 'lender' a free copy
of the leather-guy (along with the return of his rubber-boot!)
If this project works out, I'll refer the rest of y'all to that shop,
which will have the template(s) to reproduce these
dust boots.
..Unless, of course, someone can steer me to a shop which is ALREADY
capable of turning out these leather 'boots'.
