WAS: Motor mount and (8v) water pipe woes....NOW: Hose clamps

[sciroccos at earthlink.net (Jim Ruffi)]

Dan:  I love your work...totally admire what you've done, but I have this
compulsive urge to steal your and Kirsten's cars, replace all the clamps
with euro ones and return them before you notice they've gone missing!

I've picked them up over the years from Wurth and Winzer.  I don't think
Winzer exists anymore.  The clamps are pricey, but nice and original-like..

Flip a couple pages in and you'll find german CV boot clamps and tools and
(my favorite) "Oetiker" clamps (ear clamps); these are the ones that crimp
on, are uber OEM and very seamless, for fuel lines and such.  I found one in
a restaurant parking lot yesterday.  It was unused.  Must been bouncing
around in a Mercedes chassis and fallen in the parking lot.  I grabbed that
sucker up and put it in my (suit) jacket pocket.  I'm not proud.
