Does anyone know where I can get the metal clamps that hold the intake tube to the throttle body and to the MAF? I do not have them and need them by this week end so I can daily drive this thing (others broke )

 

How did you break both clamps??? A salvage yard would be my guess. You might check a place that sells parts for trucks.

The only thing unique about those clamps is the holes for the little rubber nubs on the bellows. Just cut the rubber nubs off and use a conventional stainless worm-type band clamp.

 

ditto to Fred. You can just go to any auto parts store and get regular clamps without the holes. Cut off the little nubs or, drill some holes in the clamps. Much easier to just get regular clamps.

 

The stainless clamps that come with the Fernco sewer pipe connector would work, but you can get the same parts at any auto parts or plumbing store:

Well see my entire intake was stolen, CAI, 1LE tube, and MAF, and I got the stock elbow shaped tube for free from a junk yard but have no clamps and I am buying a MAF when I pick up my engine from them on sat. and I have a LPE CAI on the way. Most of the nubs are already missing. What auto parts store should carry clamps that big. Thats what I was thinking to do but I just thought none were that big.

 

If you want to assume no auto parts store has the size you need, without even looking, then try a hardware store for clamps similar to the one in the picture. They are routinely used with the rubber connector shown in the picture, to connect PCV piping. Those rubber connectors, and the clamps for them, come in huge sizes. If all else fails, buy the Fernco 1056-33 3"x3" sewer pipe connector for $6 at Home Depot or Lowes, give the rubber piece to a friend with a WS6 or an LS1 and use the clamps that came with the connector. I know they fit, because that's what is in the picture.

 

Worm type clamps can be connected together end to end.. so you can really make any size out of the 'too small' ones.. may not look great but it'll work..

 

I think I will just go get that sewer pipe connector because I eventully will need that tube that comes with it. Thanks for the help guys.
