Local tuner-shop or parts store should have good screw-type clamps.
The oem clamps on the TBB could "crimp" the TBB on the back side of the "top" union...VERY hard to see, and often the site of the TBB leak.
Maybe some others know the names of good clamps...or a search (I'm too lazy...)

You could get them from the dealer, but any auto parts store should have them...
I went with larger diameter ones for my Forges...the nipple on the forges are a little bigger than the OEM ones...the larger vacuum lines just make for easier removal for servicing. When I say larger diameter, I don't mean so large that they would slip off, just large enough to fit on a little easier.
