Where are you getting the Gates PowerGrip hose clamps? I saw some on Amazon way marked up but everywhere else seems to be out of stock. I order some from speedway motors but they keep moving the backorder date.

Worm-gear clamps have two problems, both easily solved but the improvements cost more.Regarding clamps, I would NOT use worm clamps, particularly on the plastic joints in the engine bay.
Either reuse the OEM, or buy new, constant force clamps (the type used by the factory), or use the Gates PowerGrip clamps (which are effectively a constant force clamp).
Cheap, unshielded worm-gear clamps are a crime against nature...and for years I thought they were wonderful. I was wrong.Stick with constant force clamps, they ARE the clamp to use. Period. And, yes, for maybe 40yrs I thought worm drive clamps were the thing to use... but not anymore.
