[Tigers] Steering rack

[steve wick]

What size do you need? A PEX clamp, available at plumbing/home supply stores may work, and is similar to what auto manufacturers use now.

This is from the McMaster-Carr catalog.

Wanting something better than plastic zip ties to secure the boots I ventures to the world of hose clamps. You are correct most are too wide. I scoured through Pick Your Part and found certain BMW clamps (left in image) from the 80's/90's to not only be narrow enough, but also have a slight bevel on the edge. That said it was still a search to find the clamp in an appropriate diameter. I used these on my Tiger rack. I'd assume the midget rack boots are similar. Sorry I can't tell you the year/model and location the clamps were used but hopefully it helps with your search. Photo for comparison.
