    http://www.kartek.com has these in various sizes. High quality screw drives and nice rolled edges. The red heat shrink to keep the ends under control is my addition.

    Most parts houses sell somewhat sketchy one time use boot clamps.

    Is there a reason were not using the OEM, crimp on style CV clamps?


    And to add my .02...

    GEMI or BMW brand clamps. They're the best, German made. And can get them at your local parts counter or BMW dealership. Diameters in mm.

    BMW part #:
    06 Hose clamp L95-102 1 07129952137
    04 Hose clamp L83-90 1 07129952133
    05 Hose clamp L77-84 1 07129952131
    08 Hose clamp L42-48 2 07129952119

    Thanks everyone, I got the narrow ones from Kartek. All the parts houses had here were the wide hose clamps. Toyota did not list them seperate
    from the boot kits.
