DSO “Aircraft” Hose Clamps

[brinkjm]

I’ve seen this option listed on a handful of Eminger invoices from 4-eye cars. What exactly are these? Worm type? T-type? Spring style?

They can’t be all that special as the invoices show them as a whopping $6/$8 option 😂

When considering a correct restoration, would standard worm style clamps suffice? I assume the clamps are for radiator and heater hoses.

I do not have an answer, but I will gladly bump your post!

Go to this thread, then go to the link within it and you’ll see an image of the Wittek Tower hose clamps:

They were used on the SSP oil cooler assembly, the (2) main hoses coming from it to the top of the engine for a total of (4) clamps. I’ve also seen the same clamps used at the heater core hoses on the firewall, although I can’t confirm if every SSP had them at the firewall location or not.

Now the clamps seem in the image in the link I’m referencing are the older style (Classic 60’s-70’s Mustang). The ones used on the SSP’s had a taller tower on them. In the Marti link it does not say which style he’s selling, but if you call them I’m sure he probably has many types if he bought the remaining inventory that Ford used.
