Title: Repro Wittek clamps, discontinued?
Post by: CharlesTurner on May 25, 2025, 01:44:34 AM

Looking around for a set of 1/65 dated Wittek radiator hose clamps, can't seem to find any.

I had heard that Marti stopped making them and talks to buy the tooling by a large vendor had stalled. :(

Ugh, ok.  I've accumulated quite a few original/NOS wittek clamps, guess I may have to start digging into those.


What stinks is I bought a set of correct dated repro for a '65 V8 about 6 months ago.  Went to put them on and they sent 6 cyl hose clamps :-(

What's the date code on the 6 cyl clamps? I might be able to use them.
