Vintage hose clamps

Part of making the Lawman restoration as period correct as possible is to make sure every single possible detail and item installed relates to the era in which the car was put together in 1970.  One of those simple things is hose clamps.  Today’s hose clamps all have a millimeter measurement on them which did not exist back then.  Although the Lawman does not use many of these worm gear style hose clamps we still wanted to get correct ones that have the SAE sizes as shown below.
