Mini Hose Clamps

Alright, probably a dumb question. But, where do you get really small hose clamps? For hoses about a 1/4" in diameter. I can't seem to find anything smaller than 3/4"-1" and VW decided to use one time use clamps for everything. I've been staring at the N75 in my armrest for a few weeks now. Thanks guys.

I have to replace my N75 soon too. You should be able to take your N75 to the dealership and show them and they should have the right size clamps.

they're either 15.5 or 16.2mm Oetiker style crimp clamps. if you go to an autoparts store (read: not fucking autozone) and ask for fuel injection hose clamps they work really well and don't screw up lines like the slotted worm screw ones. if you do get a worm clamp make sure they are an inverted non slotted style pretty sure the 5/16" ones work really well on the thick lines. this is a huge constant tension style like you would want to use on a boost hose on an intercooler. this is just a good pic to show you what you want, not the ghetto slotted ones with holes.

Just because they wouldn't hire you doesn't mean you should talk shit about them
