I bought nice new hoses from XKs, but they are just a little thicker than the original and will not quite fit in the original Cheney clamps that were on the factory hoses. The car did have factory original hoses and clamps on it when I started so I know these are the right clamps. Most of the clamps are restored and I am not looking forward to sourcing new ones.

Anybody know of a source for thinner, more original type hoses ?

Thanks,

Curtis not questioning your thoughts but is there any chance you have the clamps that do not fit in the wrong position. The new hoses are thicker but I have never had enough
extra hose that the clamps would not work. Try Bill Tracy as I think he is remaking the orig. type of hose.
