I just both two sets from Moss Europe. The small ones were correct the large ones were not. I have previously purchased the from AHSpares. Both the small and the large were correct.

Thanks everyone.
I didn't see anything in the first two catalogs so maybe I will order form AHSpares. Didn't want to have to do that for four clamps but I really want the original types.
best regards
Mark

When I ordering from AHSpare or Moss Europe I always find several other smaller items that I add that won't influence the shipping costs apprecibly

quick update. the clamps just showed up last night. two weeks for an envelope...three days for a large(ish) box...go figure) and the large ones were not correct. they looked more like a worm drive radiator hose clamp. Oh well.

they do look like the clamps with the blue thumbscrews...only without the thumbscrews. It's really not that big of a deal to me, I just thought I'd report my findings in case someone is looking for 100 point originals.

Yes. those look like the clamps that were on my steering rack boots. The smaller one AHSpares sent looks like the clamps in your photo as well.
