Hi folks, I just found these T-bolt SS hose clamps at a good price , correction , the bolt and lock nut are only plated steel , sorry .
Great if you want to replace those pesky worm drive hose clamps ( or Jubliee clips!)

Re: T-Bolt hose clamps
I, too, found a good supplier of T-bolt clamps. Unfortunately, the bolts and nylok nuts are plated steel. And the clamps are spot welded.
Good enough for my application...actually my cheap a... mindset... (I plan on keeping a close eye on them.)
The expensive ones are so for a number of reasons. Not disparaging your suggestion, Warren. Those clamps may well be the real deal. Hard to tell until side by side.

Re: T-Bolt hose clamps
Good worm clamps are not that expensive but you need to be careful with what you buy. I use 100% ABA clamps under water line and on cooling system. I would not use the perforated ones for anything that matter.

Excellent advice. I cheaped out on potable water system clamps which I will no doubt come to regret.

Re: T-Bolt hose clamps
When I was poking about my engine ,counting hose clamps, I noticed that all the hoses, and there are a lot on an old 4D61!, had double clamps on them .
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t double hoses clamps only required on hoses connected to thru hulls below waterline ? Seems overkill on all the engine hoses. Been a while since I’ve seen a new engine but I don’t remember that being done.
I’m contemplating replacing all my hoses and that’s a lot of clamps to do at same time especially if I got proper T-bolt type ( if it’s worth it) . About 25 connections
These SS tBolt look resonable but no rolled edges
