I'm looking for a source where I can purchase  correct radiator hose clamps & cap , and heater hose clamps . According to the authenticity manual , the cap should be a 9 lb. AC #RC-7. It should have the "AC" logo and the two ears typical of caps of the period . The radiator hose clamps should be a "double wire" clamp tightened by a common screw . The heater hose clamps should be of the "double band" variety . Will appreciate any leads . Paul Tesone CLC # 6876 .

Paul: The NOS RC 7 is getting hard to find but they do come up on eBay. Most are selling for around $40-50. Again eBay has the doublewire clips -here is the eBay listing for double wire clamps       http://motors.shop.ebay.com/__?_from=R40&_trksid=p3841.m39.l1313&_nkw=wire%20hose%20clamps&_sacat=&clk_rvr_id=368173028254&MT_ID=335&crlp=7076886291_9887&tt_encode=raw&geo_id=491&keyword=wire+hose+clamps&adgroup_id=1082848821

If this above doesn`t open just go to eBay motors and type in Double Wire Auto Hose Clamps

Thanks Ken - I just took a measurement and it looks like I need the 1.75 diameter size ...... Paul Tesone CLC # 6876
