Now that I'm down in my engine compartment... hose clamps.

Use 316 grade stainless.

I have not seen stainless steel constant tension clamps from anyone. I ordered 1 of each of the Yamaha clamps various sizes so that I would have the right emergency clamps ready to go and they are not stainless steel.

There are some stainless steel clamps, like the exhaust hoses, and I've had to replace some of those.

I wouldn't be surprised if Yamaha is getting these clips from China. In the end, I've tracked various companies clamps back to RotoClip and just different coatings. RotoClip has a special coating for increased resistance but clamps with that coating I can't find anywhere.

I wish Yamaha or somebody would offer a kit with the right clamps (not the screw type) instead of having to buy tons of them individually.

Check out the link I posted above. mcmaster cars has everything, including the Yamaha clips at a fraction of the cost and very expensive constant tension clamps.
