Since we all keep old and replaced parts, would anyone have original clamps for the Petrolex hose that is between the two SU’s on my BJ8?
 
They are available from the main suppliers and the short piece of hose .

I guess you will have to retain your old screws /clamps and use new tube and just the rubber end caps then .
Im not a purist so it doesn’t matter to me if the screws are slightly different . I don’t do concourse .
 
I am not sure what your asking for, The complete clamp with Philips head screws or the clamp with any screw. I received a set of clamps with hose kit same clamp as pic. but hex head / slot screw . Sized for 5/8OD hose or 14/ 16 MM I used Airquip hose and fitting on my TR and MG B . There yours if they would work. I would send a pic but I am new and have not got it all down yet. Did you try British Parts Northwest Madflyer
 
I am looking for just the clamps with the Pozidriv screw. These have lines coming from each quadrant of the recess. The recess is not Phillips.
I cannot find any NOS parts so I am looking for used ones. The problem is that the recesses on my clamps are reamed out because someone used a Phillips screwdriver instead of a Pozidriv.
 
The new clamps seem to be reasonably original, but often the screws are metric without being Posidrive. If you know the correct threads, you might be able to find the correct screws separately.
 
Thanks Reid. Apparently Moss has new clamps called “Enots Type” that have are very close in style with Pozidriv screws. I am going to order them and see if they work. I’ll get back to you if I want your help.
