Guest dwhiteside64 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I finally was able to source the correct Wittek tower clamps and Corbin clamps for my radiator and heater hoses but now I need to know what the correct clamps are for the low pressure hose of my power steering pump. When I originally replaced the hose it had a crimp style nearest the pump and a side screw nearest the steering gear (see below). Both were very old, as was the hose itself. I suspect that Wittek tower clamps were used by the factory, but Cars inc. doesn't sell 3/8 inch clamps of that style. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The clamps pictured are correct IMO Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dwhiteside64 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks Tom for the verification. Like I said, my hose was basically dry rotted and the clamps were very tarnished and cruddy in appearance. I think Dorman makes these style clamps, at least I hope so....

RivNut Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think that if you ask the counter person for some fuel injection hose clamps, you'll find something very similar. The one you picture on the left takes a special pair of pliers to crimp it; I don't think this is "old skool" enough to be on a first generation Riviera. The power steering hoses that I've taken off usually have some kind of worm drive screw clamp on them, BUT I can't swear that they're original.
