I'm looking to do some fuel line work, and eventually coolant hoses. And I want to use the OE Oetiker clamps.
I've done a little searching and found "One Ear", "Two Ear", and "One Ear Stepless" Clamps. None of which look like the ones used on my bike.
What are these called?
Anyone have a P/N to a kit including multiple sizes & the pliers?

I have used these type for redoing fuel hose on pump

Upon finding bits left over, refer to the photo you took midway through dismantling for reference.
Those are still the "crush" (for lack of a better term) type. And the ones the factory used clip together.
So really no-one knows where to get them???

Just get more of the Norma worm drive clamp instead.
The OE click clamp is only used because its is easier at the factory to install and inspect.

Granted i've only seen the issue with the In Tank Fuel Line. But there have been issues with these tearing into lines. And was hoping to avoid this.

These european type worm drive clamps are smooth so they don´t tear the line.

If you HAVE to have factory clamps I would just buy them from the factory. Otherwise, go with any of the "crush" types. Just pay attention to what you're doing when you install them as it is possible to tighten them too much and crush the pipe. If I use oetikers I usually just buy them at the local hardware store and go with the crush type but I've had a lot of experience with them from a previous job. BTW, the "special tool" for installation is nothing more than an end cutter with dull edges.
I'm on the app store! Check out Solitaire: Slide it's free!
Bill -
When you get a line on fuel / coolant replacement parts....post it up -- I'm thinking 10 years is about time for me to start replacing all this shizzle!

Since it was highly recommended, I put THEGEEK on ignore and the forum IS a much nicer place!!
Bill,
I have used the 2nd type in your pics.
They are inside my fuel tank I was impressed with the quality and clamping force.
Readily available over here.

Ps if you cant find them ill gladly buy a bunch and mail them to you.

you can buy oetiker clamps on amazon.com I bought a kit and wrench, be aware as these are precision they come in a zillion diameters

NOTE: most of the kits are clamps ONLY, no crimper so you need to buy that too.
