different sizes. I don't want to use crappy worm style hose clamps with all of my new hoses. I want to use the one time use pinch clamps. Anyone know the ODs of our vacuum/fuel line hoses? TIA.

i ordered part P/N 52545K26 from mc master also per Roques suggestion, much better fit. The 42 are a tad big for stock, but good for silicone hose 4mm from hose techniques.

also if you look closely at the stock clamps there is a 2 digit numberm that is the size
