The S boot fits the throttle body fine (its turnable with some force), for the AFM side, ratwell does show a clamp. However the decel hose and the aux air regulator hose connect to a plastic insert and a metal coupler respectively. It is these two parts that do not fit snugly. I originally had some worm gear clamps on them but they are digging into the S boot and I wanted something that wouldn't leave indentations.

shane - the original S-boot has a lip that those parts fit into and lock in place. Don't yours do that? Just a couple months ago I threw away a half dozen perfectly good clean S-Boots with tubes because no one wanted to pay shipping on them.

I don't know about "locking" it in place but there is an internal stop on both ports.

I will have to look for the size of the clamps for the S boot. No idea what size the Geebee S boot would take, but "Gemi" which is the original producer for VW for these S boot clamps and and other clamps on our Buses sells the ones you are looking for with the rolled edges. The clamp that goes from the rubber "T" to the hard plastic "S" line is the crimped style of clamp also used on the clear breather lines.

Don’t forget to go back up and edit threads about vendor.
