Proper hose clamps for an early 365GTC/4?

what is pictured in the parts manual?

 

Michael,

I have no experience with a C4 but have restored a 246 and 365GT and currently have 14397, a GTB/4. No stainless hose clamps were used. All are cad-plated steel. Go to:

This photo shows the correct type.

Can you send a photo of one or scan the diagram?

 

Hi Michael,

you can find those "Surflex" clamps in bag quantities from companys like Wurth or possibly Newco Products. We have a couple bags of them at the shop I will look on the bag and see where they came from

mmmmmmmm, bags of clamps. It just doesn't get any better than that!

(I'll be needing those bags this summer - I currently have Pep Boys' finest on my motor)

 

365gt2+2 takes at least 2 cheneys (for the top radiator hose clamps). the vast majority are something called "ANGST-PH" - any ideas Zac, on what they are called? Bowdish said he saw a bunch @ GT Car Parts in AZ

 

Angst is clearly the German word for Worry as we all know, and PH is the code for Phillips. So together it means someone named Phillips will worry a lot about these hose clamps.

 

that's actually exactly what I thought when I first saw it! this stuff already keeps me awake at night. And Bayer coming by every other week w/ his concours judge hat on doesn't help!!!!! kidding, MB; God is in the details

 

I held a bag of 100 in my hand today of the tiny surflex style clamps today, they are a german brand and have a different stamping but placed properly you can't tell. you can find the proper surflex clamps from a Peugot parts dealer as they were used on many French cars.

To answer Bryan's question the 365 2+2s use wire style clamps on the heater and all but the upper radiator hose. these clamps are not as easy to come by but are very similar to what was used on all early American cars I just have not figured out the best place to get them. I saw Bowdish eyeballing my stash when he was at my house but unfortunatly I have none to spare.

As we all know Napa hose clamps work just fine and the correct clamps have no effect on clamping the hose better it is purely nerd obsession to have the proper clamps for car shows.

on almost all Ferraris from the mid sixties on the parts manuals are incredibly detailed and if there is a question on what bolt, clamp or nut should go somewhere that is the first place I look.

Wow - I can see bringing someone to help wipe the car down but to fly him here from Poland... those Daytona owners are over the top!

 

From Poland? how do you know is was wiping the right car?

I once saw a guy at Concourso with three strippers in matching uniforms buffing on the cars all day, I haven't seen it again doubt the organizers were impressed.

deal - w/ 2.5 days left to concours, it's the price I'll have to pay for correct plugs.

OR, if you're interested in a barter; I have those little aluminum flags/tabs for the ends of the AC lines (impossible to find) - $250 each and I'll think you'll need 4 of them ... .

I need to know immediately

 

@ $100/pop, the plugs had better come w/ the original boxes, or I'll tell TS that your "cad plating" is nothing more than Rustoleum.
