<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">Thanks for the info. Today I ordered boots that come with narrow screw adjusted clamps, similar to radiator clamps. Hopefully they won't cut into the boot. Mark<br><br></span></div>

<p class="yiv6700087131">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.</p>
