Clamps for Samco Radiator Hose Kit (3 pc)

First and foremost.. Happy Holidays! With that being said.. I apologize if I'm not posting this in the correct forum.

This christmas, a friend of mine was kind enough to get me a Samco 3-piece radiator hose kit.. which is awesome! BUT.. I'm having the hardest time finding clamps that work and look great. After a ton of time researching.. I've only come across a few brands such as Pi-Thon and Earl.. but had no luck finding any available for sale. I'm a bit lost.. and I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.. maybe some suggestions and/or website links.

I've got the black hoses and I'd like the clamps to be a silver/titanium/etc. color.. as I'd like to keep a color scheme of black and DG/titanium to my car.

Big thanks in advance!

a buddy suggested these: http://www.034motorsport.com/hardwar...zes-p-123.html any opinions/experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Also.. I got the Samco Sport Coolant Hose Kit.. anyone know the sizes I should be getting for this kit? I know.. I know.. lazy and uneducated lol.. but tbh.. the hoses aren't here with me yet and I've looked online to no avail.

Thanks again guys.

Upper/Lower Radiator Hoses are approx. 1-3/8".

Don't Recall Bypass Hose Size, Think it was 3/4".

Like Gary mentioned T Bolt Clamps are the easiest ones to find.

Pi Thon went out of business years ago, very difficult to find them. Need clamps made for Samco/Silicone Hoses which are harder to find. I Still have the Lower Radiator hose clamps and sold off rest of set.
