When I did these on my TR4 and TR4A, I connected together two large standard
hose clamps (not the Triumph SuperClip type) to make one clamp large enough
to surround the rubber unit. The unit can then be easily compressed just the
right amount to fit and after bolting in place, the clamp is easily removed.
Hope this helps.
