Default Self-Tightening hose clamps

....is what i'm looking for.
Looked about a few places but most hose suppliers only have worm-thread clamps which i think look tacky. I'm after a new set of self-tightening clamps as standard as the old one's look tacky and don't fit completely on the new hoses.
Thanks

Jubilees are ideal mate also have a look for Mikalor ones.

...but i'm not really sure on the sizes to fit hoses that would come from the inlet to say the boost gauge, to the Boost solenoid etc. I know both pipes need to be 3mm but the clamp sizes look confusing.

Nasty things these, they cut into the pipes.
Better off with jubilee clips.

Erm, fitted new jubilee clips and cut through 2 pipes. These are used for low pressure fittings such as boost gauge pipes etc and are very light grip so how they can cut through piping is beyond me.
