Default Found replacement clamps for diverter valve vacuum hoses - for those who are interested -->
McMaster-Carr carries them. They are called "stepless ear clamps" and appear to be made by a company called Oetiker (if you want to search for better prices, though I don't think you will find them). I just ordered a bag of 25 of the 3/8" clamps and the side crimp tool. This stuff is on page 185 of their catalog.

Warning if you start to browse around thier catalog you will find a whole lot of stuff you never even thought you needed :-]<ul><li><a href="http://www.mcmaster.com">McMaster-Carr</a></li></ul>

Zip ties are easier and cheaper, for the vac lines.

I know that is what I am using now, but I thought I would help people who wanted the stock clamps

Excellent. Is 3/8" the perfect size for vacuum hose? How about the samco vacuum hose?

Default I think so - you have to measure the OD of the hose you are using - send me the Samcos and I will
measure them :-]
