Persnickety about Hose Clamps

In my efforts to ensure the engine bay on my 280z looked as close as possible to factory I wanted to replace all the worm-gear hose clamps with the wire-type that originally secured the hoses.  The original clamps can no longer be found even from Nissan; the Nissan offering now has a hex-head bolt instead of the original pan-head.  Given this fact I decided to see what was out there for purchase.  This type of clamp was surprisingly rare although I found some limited offerings on Amazon.com.  Purchasing various assortments and sizes I used these on all the hoses except for the heater hoses which I will replace at a later time.  I was pleased with the look that this type of clamp provided.
