Hose clamp on nose gear leg fairing
 
Can?t seem to find a part number for the hose clamp used to fasten the nose gear leg fairing to the gear leg just above the wheel yoke. The plans call out for a 3/8? hose clamp (I assume the 3/8? is referring to the band width) but when I order a hose clamp for that diameter I get one with a band width of 9/16? which makes the whole thing too large and interferes with the front half of the wheel pant. The parts I have tried are QS200-12 and QS200-16 from AS. Anyone know where I can get a 3/8? band width clamp this diameter? Maybe I should just try the local auto parts store.

Aviation aisle at Lowes or ACE...
 
I get all my hose clamps there... Didn't even think there was a part number specified (never even thought to look :rolleyes:)

I used a stainless hose clamp from my local hardware chain. Ended up being the same brand as the kit-supplied clamps for the main leg fairings. Sorry, I don't remember the size I used.

I honestly don't think size is critical here. I just grabbed one off my shelf that worked.
