Carb boot Clamps, Who's got'em ?

[MadKawi650]

Where can I get a Clamp for my Air Filter boot for the connection to the carb ?

I saw one in a post somewhere but I can't find it now.

Does anyone have some sort of "Quick fix" type of clamp ? I'm looking for something like the fuel line clamps on my 4 Wheeler. You use pliers to squeeze them to remove and put them back on

You can use zip ties which are cheap and very secure.

I use a zip tie.

Yeah, I use Zip Ties now, but I hate trying to pull them tight,,, getting a pair of needle nose pliers down in there is a real bugger. Then you have to install another,,, I want a metal spring type clamp. I'll keep searching and let you all know what I find

look in your local auto parts store, you might get lucky. I've only seen them on touring cars which for the most part have a way smaller carb than a truck

There are a whole slew of different size "spring" clamps at the auto parts store. You open 'em up with a pair of duck-bill plyers. Should do the trick for you!

Thanks,,, I never thought about an Auto parts store.

I Found the Spring Pic I was looking for. It is on a Revo on the Traxxas Forum. Awsome truck BTW, you should go check it out..

I've run those types of clamps before and after a crash it fell off and took the air filter with it. :\

The MotorSaver air filter comes with it. I have one on mine and have had no problems with it.
