Default Need OEM Spring Band Clamps

Need a source for the coolant-hoses spring band clamps like the OEM type.

I have found a couple of manufacturers, like Mubea and Clips and Fasteners, for example, but it seems like they have different working spaces, specs, etc.

I want to change all my hoses on my 2004, but this clamp thing has me psyched out. I want to keep the oem parts on the car.

If anyone even has a list of the sizes needed I would be grateful!

Perhaps these are what you’re looking for?

Looks like a good lead. I'll give them a call on Monday. I already saw 60% of the clamps listed and they seem to be able to verify by vin.

Dorman offers a bunch of different spring clamps. But they go by diameter and not application.

Is there a reason that the clamps need to be replaced? On my C5 the factory original clamps are still being used with out issue.

I have read conflicting experiences on reusing the original clamps. The expense represents peace of mind to me, plus then I know what I have.
