Hi Steve,

The clamps holding the water hoses to the bulkhead and the one on top of the AC compressor are correct.

I dont think the induction hoses where originally clamped to the air cleaner body but I felt it looked unfinished so I took some large stainless hose clamps and reduced the length and TIG welded them back together so that there was very little thread remaining, that way I could hide the thread and screw underneath. I then polished the top side of the clamp and ground the underside so that I could clue a strip of skinned neoprene that was slightly wider than the clamp to get it to bulge either side and look like it was meant to be there.

This is the type of skinned neoprene I use a lot in my restorations. It's very soft and fills gaps.
