Fuel Hose Wire Clamp

[byto1393]

Hey everybody, quick question. The fuel line that feeds the fuel rail on the carbs has a special wire clamp on it that's unlike any other clamp on the bike. Well, I must have lost part of the clamp when I took the hose off, and now I can't get it to tighten down properly. I'm thinking about just using a 0.5 inch air hose clamp as a substitute. Would this be acceptable? Or is the wire clamp that much better?

The OEM wire clamp is a very good clamping device. Yes other clamps will do the trick, but you are only missing the very small wash that slides onto the end of the threaded screw and presses against the wire.
