Stainless Clamps for SAMCO Intake

I found the ultimate clamps in my opinion for the SAMCO intake if anyone is interested:

Size 96 is what is needed and although a little pricey, they are nonperforated, stainless steel and very good quality worm gear. I bought the red tips too since mine is red. They don't rip you off with shipping, etc. and you can only order the eaches even though it appears with box/10 once in your shopping cart.

Just thought I would share if anyone is interested.

Good source... thanks for posting

You're welcome. Sorry, I forgot to mention that size 96 (same size as black, stock clamp) is on back order until September. Size 104 is on hand, but has a little bit of excess; not an issue if you will keep the worm gear hidden underneath or you can trim off the excess. I'll post a pic soon.

I found it impossible to get the original clamps back on with the samco duct installed - just too tight. So the #104 would be slightly bigger and probably work better for me.

Good find and thanks for passing on the info.

DaveK,

Sorry I made a mistake about the size based on measurement and conversation with their tech person. The stock clamp opened up extends to 6 1/2", but looking at my stock black clamp it is a size 92 and yours should have it stamped too. The size 96 is what I am waiting for as the #104 works but has too much excess even though it is supposed to be 7" max clamp but you can imagine 1/2" is not really just 1/2" as shown on this picture.



After trimming off and putting my caps on here is what it looks like and it works, but I rather not trim the clamps.

I guess these only come in a box of 10?

What is the correct size to order? Do they just come with red tips or can you get black?

Craig,

where did you buy the Samco coolant hose clamps?

Hi Kurt,

I believe I bought them from the ZR-1 Net Registry Store and it was shipped to me by Uly? I don't see them now. Sorry I don't remember the specifics, but I might be able to find the receipt as it was a few years ago.

I'm surprised because I had the black clamps on originally with the SAMCO air duct and no problems. I wonder if the black clamps that came on my Z are not the originals?

I contacted the company and it seems to be only in boxes of 10 - they only list red tips but I imagine other places would do black the tips are pretty standard I think
