Getting a bit further with all this clamp stuff
I noticed the clamps I had on the inlet rubbers (engine side) were stamped with a number 44.
I checked with DSS about this and got this reply
Hello
Part number 9501844250 is stamped with 42 and seems to fit the 16211323000 rubbers nicely.

So it seems I may have been using the wrong clamps in the wrong place (easy to do as they do look very much the same)
I think this clamp is for the inlet side of the carbs and as such is a bit bigger.
Am checking with DSS if the inlet side side clamps have a different number which I bet they do and I am betting its 44
More to follow
Lesson learnt here is be careful not to mix them up as they are NOT the same part
