Go to a plumbing supply house, they have em that big. I used one that big to attach my tach to my cutlass steering colum.

You know what?.. it just dawned on me, this looks a lot like a CV boot clamp. I'm going to get one tomorrow and see how it fits.

Regular hose clamps are too wide and will not fit in the channel.

I went to Lowes and purchased and package of large industrial strength zip ties. Infinitely adjustable and it was a package of 15 meaning I could screw up or take it apart a few times if needed and have some extras.

Sorry no good close ups

It does appear similar. Might be a good thought! Oetiker does several different "narrow width" clamps that may offer more desirable choices. Some I believe as narrow as 5mm.
