jboulukos Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Is there a clamp I can purchase to keep the black flexible plastic air intake hose from separating from the air cleaner. Forgive me if the words used to describe the parts are incorrect. Its the accordian-looking bendable hose that comes off the grille from the right of the radiator and ends in the light blue air cleaner housing. Name and size of clamp? Where to get one? Thanks as always. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Worm gear steel clamps come in all sizes. I have a worm gear clamp for a 36 inch diameter pipe in my "never to be really used" collection, so I am sure you know how to measure your circumference and divide by "Pi", 22/7 will do in an emergency. Any Home Depot or equivilenent can sell you the right part. Good luck, looks like a good start! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 NAPA, oreillys, Autozone, etc all carry hose clamps. Take the black plastic air hose with you so they can give you the right size. 1 Quote Link to comment

green280z Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 That engine bay is worthy of the correct clamp. Dont use a hose clamp. Very nice looking! Quote Link to comment
jboulukos Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 It not my engine bay. I agree with you though. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 O, ok its not YOUR engine bay. That engine bay is a WOW! My engine bay looks like crap too :thumbup:. I've never had a clamp for my accordion hose. I'm happy with good MPG. Maybe I'll get a shiny new clamp from Home Depot. I like shiny things in my engine bay. Quote Link to comment
