Howdy folks,
I'm replacing my injectors with Marco's and, well, I don't know what size clamps to get, so I bought 1/2" and 3/8" pinch clamps at Home Cheapo. The 1/2 inchers are too big. Before I open this package up and have a hassle reurning them, do you think they'll fit? Bus depot has 7mm ID listed. These when converted are 9.25mm. But is that inside or outside? The package says they work for 1/8" (3.175mm) - 1/4" (6.35mm), but I don't want to mess around considering the implications and thought I would ask the pros here.


Thanks!

Home depot has clamps rated for fuel injectors?

No, they have pinch clamps for PEX water pipe.

Go to a real auto parts store (not auto whatever chain) and bring an injector with you.
They can provide proper clamps to fit your fuel hose.

The Oetiker clamps for the fuel injection hose (7.3mm and 5/16") is 14.5mm.

Plenty on eBay.
