Wrecking yards, probably of the pick-your-own-part variety. I've lost track of how many of those wretched things I've thrown away over the years, Jap manufacturers seem to be in love with them.
Does any one know where in Australia i can source those "retro" double wire screw hose clamps. Alibaba has em but i don't need 5000 of them![]()

They are factory fitted on many makes.
Go to a wreckers and look at some early 90's Nissans, and you won't leave disappointed.
Personally, they are the devil's work IMO
Go the T bar clamps and never look back.

Retro? I immediately thought of the ones common in the late 60s and 70s, which, as Kyle says, are the work of Satan. Do them up enough for them to work and they cut through the hose. The later ones are better, as the section is flat, but why, why would you want them? Is there a Concours de Elegance for Discos now?
Try a very thin smear of "Stag" on the inside of the hose before fitting, if constant weeping is an issue, although it shouldn't be.

I like it because it really only needs a little, and it doesn't harden.
Ducking now, for cover.
