    Default NOS or OEM Factory Hose Clamps

    Anyone know a source for original or repro hose clamps for radiator, heater hoses, bypass and air cleaner flex tubes? Saw them once years ago, but haven't seen any since.

    There are options like this. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/o...hoC5YkQAvD_BwE

    But I honestly don't remember if those are correct for your model year Mustang.

    The tower clamps were used for the heater hoses. The radiator hoses were wire clamps up to about 90. The wire clamps May have stopped reproduction for the 65-73 cars. Check Mustangs Unlimited and FoxResto as they came up in searches. Not sure if there was a specific repro for Folxbody.

    Remember that the same hose clamps were used on pretty much all Ford vehicles and were not Mustang specific. If you have a junk yard near you with any 80s model Ford vehicles you will probably find quite a few of what you need.

    I noticed the other day, LMR is including spring type clamps with their hose kits now. I was a little peeved since I think I must've bought one of the last ones with worm gear clamps!

    Also, the hose clamp is stapled to the radiator hose at the factory.

    The wire clamps stapled to the hose started late in 1967 for the upper and lower radiator hoses. Heater hoses used the tower clamps and sone like the svo used worm clamps. Sometimes black. Spring clamps started sometime by 1992.
