[Supras] Original style Toyota hose clamps available anywhere?

[Sean Cavanaugh]

do NOT use the screw lined ones on hoses as they cause them to fail faster 
at the clamp point. (how would you like being squeezed thru several small 
slits?)

for mild pressure they're fine, but anything that carries pressure I would 
def go for the t-bolt clamp as it spreads the pressure out evenly around the 
hose.
