Ya and from napa your looking at about $6 for one stinkin clamp. Lame
Punishment racing sells stainless steel clamps.
Stainless Steel T-Bolt Hose Clamp - Punishment Racing
if you want good quality replacements, I'd go with punishment.
I don't think name brand is a big deal though, it really is a simple device to rig up and my generic clamps are really well made.
If you made it yourself, It would probably be better...because you would more than likely use a USA bolt, and USA steel, and give a damn about what you made.It's a strip of sheet metal, a bolt, and a nut. Dysfunctional clamps are really not that common...
If I had the equipment I would make them myself.
But hey, if you want your car to be down for DAYS because you cheaped out on a $2 part, mo DSM POWAH to ya.
OK. When I get lots of money I'll get some name brand valve cores too.
The point is, do you pay attention to things like valve cores? They would leave you stranded but people throw in any core that isn't damaged.
The price difference is more like $20 in the complete system. Remember the little things can add up too. Do you replace every nut/bolt since it's technically recommended?
If my local Napa actually sold anything and at a decent price I would go USA. But unfortunately they don't. I have a hard time paying for something I know took them close to nothing to make. If the price was right I would go USA for sure. But when the price is asinine I don't buy into the excuse "Buy from us, we are American"
Did you?Did you even read that before you posted?
