GT350 rad hoses, staples or not?

[lawrence67]

Marti has 67 SB rad hoses that have staples to locate wire clamps for SJ builds.  I thought this was a 68 only thing. Are these correct for 67s?

Yes for theGT350's, I believe the GT500's got the tower clamps.

Actually the wire clamps on the GT350 radiator hoses started in 66 production at the SJ plant . The 68 GT500 changed over to the wire clamps sometime shortly after 68 production started.

As Bob mentioned the staple started around mid production year at San Jose for the small block. They later returned to tower during 68 for some reason at San Jose for a time period but that does not relate to  Shelby production

Thanks for response. Original clamps long gone before my purchase.  Several rad repairs done while in AZ. Dates of repairs vibro-etched on upper tank.
