The single-wire spring clamps are properly called "Corbin" clamps, are they not? While I've never had a problem with one not securing the hose, I likewise detest them, they look insecure and say "cheap". But there are alternative "of the era" clamps that look more secure, yet don't have that modern look, for example the Sherman-type, or steel double-wire type, even the Wittek type. It's pretty rare that I have one of my cars judged, I'm really not into that, but I've noted some judging venues seem to overlook these alternative clamps, even though they are not OEM.
