Fitted new OEM inlet rubbers and bought new clamps from DSS but they are not clamping tight
Anyone ever used jubilee clips or can recommend any alternative?

What is the middle number Sliver sent, GHB or 844 ?

I use jubliee clips but the narrow banded ones and no leaks!

9501844250 was DS part number
Ordered some thin (8mm) jubilee clips from INOX fasteners will see how they go

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.
Regards

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

If yours happen to be a K3, check orientation boots (see pic).

Good news they are great quality, fit really well and don’t pinch the rubbers
Bad news they didn’t solve my bad running condition
One step forward two back then!!!
