What are the best clamps for Diverter Valve?

Just like the title says. I'm having issues with the stock style clamps either not holding pressure or breaking when trying to tighten them. I was wondering if there is a t-bolt clamp that is the size ov the DV couplers or a stronger worm clamp out there. What are you guys using & where can I find them? I can't seem to find t-bolt clamps small enough & don't know what else would work. Thanx in advance.

Take your coupler in to Napa and have them match one of there heavy duty clamps to it. Also if you are blowing the DV or IC pipes take a little hairspray and spray inside the coupler ends put it on wet and when it dries it's like glue but can be removed with a quick twist of the pipe. I put mine on like that about a year ago. Hasn't blown off since.

It didn't blow off, but was leaking when I did a boost leak test. Then the clamp broke when I tightened it. I'll try NAPA if I cant find t-bolts. Thanx.
