Title: Original vs Marti Auto reproduction Wittik tower clamps differences?
Post by: Kyle Zammit on January 10, 2023, 03:32:03 PM
Hi all,

I was searching for Original radiator hoses tower clamps and heater hoses tower clamps dated 3/66 or 4/66. Then I noticed that NPD sell new reproduction tower clamps dated 3/66 and 4/66 brand (Marti Auto). They look exact to Original.  Does anyone have pictures of an Original clamp and a reproduction clamp so we can know what is the difference please?

Thanks Kyle.

Need to dig out some originals. Don't have repos to do a side by side picture comparison.


Here are a few I have pictures of and from earlier postings on this site

Hi Jeff,

Thank you so much for the pictures.

The Reproduction's that I am seeing on different vendors looks exactly like Original's.
