Does anyone know of where I can to find T-bolt type clamps to fit 1.5" diameter hose without having to order them? I've tired Lowe's, local hardware store, local auto parts stores. Most don't even have a clue what I'm talking about. Nobody has had them so far. I'm looking to find one for my lower radiator hose, the OEM spring clamp leaks since I changed out the hoses to the Samco silicone ones, I don't know why.

Here's what I'm looking for to fit a 1.5" OD hose.

Did you try a local chain auto parts store or a local auto parts store? That is exactly the kind of thing they would tend to carry.

Do you have a NAPA around? Sometimes they have more than your typical Autozone, Advanced Auto, etc, chain stores.

You guys aren't seeing what BB is saying!!

Local parts store only carry worm gear clamps. BB is looking for a superior product in a
T-Bolt style clamp.

Unfortunately in todays world, no one carries the better product in stock.

As the lady at Lowes asks, "did you find everything you were looking for?"
My response is, "No, but I found everything you wanted me to buy"


BB, buy the cheaper clamp for now, and mail order a variety of the ones you want, to have them available when needed.

BB, back to the original question, check marine part houses.

These are common on boats.
