Help With Engine Hose Clamps
I am swapping out my 10 year-old OEM rubber hoses for a 9-piece set of braided hoses for my 2004 convertible.
I would also like to swap out the OEM hose clamps and would like to install some chrome Spectre magnaclamps. As a result, does anyone know the hose clamp sizes for the following LS1 engine hoses?
Upper Radiator Hose
Lower Radiator Hose
Overflow Tank to Block Hose
Passenger Valve Cover to Throttle Body Hose
Radiator to Throttle Body Hose
Overflow Tank to Radiator Hose
Heater Hose to Block
Heater to Overflow Tank
Drivers Side Air Hose
Thanks. I appreciate any help on this!
Also, if you have a preferred online vendor that provides these clamps, please advise. Spectre lists a few retail chains, however upon calling them, they weren't much help with the sizing and don't carry them in stock, so I would have to order through them anyway.

I used -4an for both coolant lines coming out of the small radiator ports. I got them for ~3 bucks a foot shipped off ebay
