oetiker clamp size for outer cv boot inner side?
 
Hello all, Well this is kinda follwoing on from a previours post, and looking at my loosish clamp noticed the numbers 35 printed on it, this tallies with the diameter of the clamp as it is when fitted on the shaft....BUT is a tad loose and i cannot tighten it anymore eventhough there is 1 free slot rung on the clip...i think one time crimp of the ear on these clamps and thats it nothing else can be adjusted...so i need a new one(s) anybody know what the size is? or what I ask for? jeez I wish i could just use good hoseclamps with rolled edges to avoid all this hassle.....also how do i pump in mo s02 lubricant from the small end where my clamp is loose?dunno if i can get a syringe under the gap.....

thanks Ricky bobcby, still searching, was pointed in direction of independent parts suppliers stores for cars but on sundays they are shut out here, not driving the car much until i found out someone definitely has the clamp....moped will have to do.....

BMW dealers says it comes as part of set bellow repair kit....jeez called one mechanic he says a decent zip tie will be fine, whereas another mechanic says it wont....any tips or part number for this much appreciated...markings on clip is 35 and is the diameter of the boot end it covers...not sure about width, i measured 9mmm but all 35mm i see online are 7mm wide...jeez

well bit the bullet cos was fed up of dealers and EVERY parts supply store i checked telling me they had no such things as an oetiker clamp and would have to buy the complete bellows repair kit........anyhow bought the febi boot kit.....which had an oetiker clamp with 33mm stamped on it, the original clamp that came with the current GKN loebro boot says 35mm and i read online of people complaining they found the clamps loose on the GKN.....

anyone have any ideas of how to pump in the 'lost' cv joint lubricant? bearing in mind i wont be taking off boot just removing old clip from the smaller end of the boot...could i pry it up and somehow try a small syringe to get it in there?

Found this CV joint clamp set on FCP Euro listed for $3.70 CV Boot Clamp Kit - Scan Tech 50.2060.1 | FCP Euro
It is Scan Tech 50.2060.1
Looks like it is a Saab/Volvo part, but a Oetiker clamp is a Oetiker clamp.

good man thanks for reply , i will have to check the wide needs to be 7mm as sits in grooves at end of boot....also gonna buy a hoseclamp with raised edges so it doesn't score the rubber a clamp like those akin to a car battery terminal.....in case the replacement oetiker clamp doesnt tighten again
