Default Oetiker Ear clamps....
what are you guys using on the front driveshaft boot for Chevy 1500 series 4wd trucks?

I removed my OEM clamp (oetiker 50.5 mm ear clamp) for a repair I was doing and I don't think I can get the sucker back on. I know its a one and done item so where the hell can I find one? Or are you guys using something else?

worst case....if you have nothing else...zip tie. the prop shaft boot doesn't have to retain grease so i'd have no issue with a zip tie.
