Note: These clamps are made by Wittek which is who Buick sourced back in the day however we feel these clamps aren’t quite the quality they use to be. For better results lubricate the entire clamp prior to installation. This helps the clamp tighten down properly. The lubrication eliminates some of the resistance during the tightening process. Make sure the bolt stays straight during the tightening process as well. This clamp design is not the best design ever used by GM which is why we feel they’re now basically extinct! These are however correct for our cars if you’re doing a concours style restoration but as mentioned these clamps are not the best design. We recommend purchasing a couple extra when doing your restoration. If you don’t want to deal with them please do not purchase them as they are not warrantied. We’re just being honest in terms of there design (flaws). None of the other companies selling these clamps will admit this up front . . .
