    Source for an original L79/350hp bypass clamp???

    Hey guys,
    I need one more original 350hp bypass clamp for my 67...anyone know where I may find one? I have one, just need it's twin....I would like to keep the entire engine original and unrestored as virtually nothing has been replaced in the entire engine bay of my Silver car...I have a bunch of NOS correct fillister screws for the clamps, but need one more clamp...Any help is always appreciated...Thanks.
    Regards

    Ara,

    Try Richard Fortier, he advertises in Driveline or Pete Lindahl, pclindahl@comcast.net. They've both provided original parts for my L79 over the past three years.

    Good Luck,

    Pete

          Ara, Post a pic of the original you have. I have a bunch of old hose clamps and just may have what you are looking for. John

              Ara,

              Have you checked with John Meissinger? Seems like just the type of thing John would have.

                  Ara, looked through my 'junk' drawer and found a A4 1/2 clamp like your picture. Missing screw and nut. In mint condition, you'll have to soak it in the ocean to make it look 'survivor'!! PM me with address etc.

                      Ara, Sorry I couldn't help. I checked a bunch of clamps I have and none were what you needed. Glad that Holstein found one for you. John

                          Ara,
                          Does the L79 hose clamp have any markings on it, and if so what are they? I can see what looks like a 4 1/4 but not much else in the picture you posted. I have several old clamps that look something like the ones in your picture but not exact.
                          Thanks Neal

                            Neal, it's 'A 4 1/2' size marking.
