Note that silicone rad-hoses use a special hose clamp with a small "tongue" that covers the worm-drive slot in such clamps.
Jack is describing a more standard worm-drive clamp with an added 'tongue'. You will have trouble finding them at a normal outlet, but it is necessary to NOT use the regular ones, as the slots will dig into the soft silicone.
In fact, you will probably find it easier to locate the t-bolt units, than the long tongue worm-gears.

The clamp on the left is by Mikalor, from the UK. Easily found on eBay UK, and not too expensive.
