Intercooler boot clamps

I have blown my intercooler boot off the down tube several times now. It seems that the clamp is bottoming out just before it is "tight".

Where does one get a GOOD clamp for this?

Thanks

Any good screw clap should hold it. Work on fixing boot.
clean inside of boot and scuff up the metal where the boot slips on. Use light adhesive on both surfaces before installing. Hairspray works.... helps boot slide on and drys tacky.

You can try what RowJ just said or you can buy a whole new boot kit with clamps like this one. http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Int...its-p/icb2.htm I'm not sure if any vendors sell just the clamps.
