Anyone have the correct tinnermen ratcheting clamps for the clutch boot? Used in working condition is fine. Haven't had any luck finding a good source with the right size yet when looking under NAS397 or its NSN #. _________________ TJ

Not yet. I don't have much time during the day to call when they are usually open. It is on my to-do list for the clamps but I just wanted to throw it out on the forum just in case. _________________ TJ

The original clamps for the cable boot as well as the crankcase vent hoses were a Tinnerman serrated type clamp. I contacted Tinnerman a few years back and inquired about having them made. I was told that these were a military only part and since there had been such a long spell that they were not ordered, they scrapped the tooling. This would be an expensive part to have made. Your best bet is a good take off at this point and those are very difficult to find as well.

Thanks for the info John. After searching the Internet I was coming to that conclusion. I did find a couple of places that sell them online but they were either to small for the large clamp and to big for the small clamp. I did find a place that might have something and will be contacting them. Hopefully they have them and won't want a minimum amount in order to purchase them like so many places. _________________ TJ
