Title: WTB: Intake Boot Clamp ASAP
Post by: seamax on March 25, 2008, 08:34:14 AM
Bought a new intake boot. This is the boot between the cylinder head and the carb but it did not come with a clamp and I threw away my torn boot already. This is the clamp that is on the boot. The carb is inserted into each boot and the clamp is tighten around.

Anyone have one laying around I can have. Ronayers charges $12 shipped for one.

I just checked the fiche. The part #'s are different. I think the air cleaner clamp is larger.

So no. Thanks though.

Anyone else?

Hose clamps work well.
Cool.

I was thinking of that but was hoping someone might have one laying around.
$12 for a clamp is ridiculous.

ffr, junk yards have loads of those old OEM style radiator clamps. you know, twice formed wire keepers, some of em are bronze, the look like hot stuff when they're polished up. :)

and if you gotta decent junk yard, you can get em for nuthin if you buy some other POS for their stupid inflated price :)

ohhhhhhhhh you got one already. ah heck

$12 hose clamp?  Man, you're going to the wrong place!

At my place, $12 buys you a hose clamp big enough to clamp down a trashcan lid.   :icon_mrgreen:
