A few good things for my Hellcat today, the radiator extra hose clamp so it don't blow off.
My door sills came today and were installed. I hit 500 Miles today and gave her a wash. Now Im just waiting for my head rests from Jina, they should be here on Monday

I got the door sill plates from Hen Sun . Nice and we couldn't build the shipping crate in USA for $59. I don;t know if anyone put a magnet to them but high quality stainless. Magnet no sticky. Kinda of funny, our great cars are built in Canada with a motor from Mexico and sill guards from China. That made me sad today when I was looking at a 1929 model T today all original running gear. I guess I'm just old.

Got my $49 Chinese sills too yesterday. That packaging job needs an award. It sure looks good on the dark blue, glad I did not order the bright pair that cost twice as much

Nice. You even used the good style worm clamp that won't cut into your hose...

My headrests must be right in line behind you. Jina is just about to start mine. She and Rick had a car show this weekend then she was going to get going on mine. I can't wait. Her work is just outstanding!

Your nice forged wheels are built in China. I bet there is more stuff made in China than you want to know. Assembled in Canada from global parts

The Laguna leather is made by Elmo in Sweden. I was hoping I had a blonde Swedish girl stowed away in my trunk but no such luck! She must have bailed at the train depot in Angola LOL.

The ebay listing says they are made of 304. 304 is a grade of stainless steel that will not rust...

Shall we just start collecting some country flag stickers to show where all the stuff came from and put them on the back bumper?

You can get that style clamp from any marine store. Very common in marine applications.

Another option is Mcmaster Carr. They have just about every option!

They look great!

What pattern are you getting from Jina? I went with the black cat with red eyes. When the dome spotlights come on, the lights shine on the eyes. Looks kind of evil.

Enjoy your Cat.

i actually went to the BMW dealer and looked at there clamps and that one seemed like it was big enough. it is very close, that is what was hard putting it back together with one hand to get the screw to start fighting it.

I would get the Vibration-Resistant Worm-Drive Hose and Tube Clamps in 304 stainless. You don't need the 316 for this application. This is a high torque clamp.

If you need some help let me know. Need the diameter of the hose and we can get the exact part number. I'm not near my car or I would measure the hose for you.
