I always liked best the originals on all my cars.
Corbin Style Spring Wire Heater Radiator Hose Clamps old style spring wire hose clamps.
Dad ground a pair of pliers for them I still have.
I do not know why they would be discarded in favor of the new style clamps but the Corbins were best.
If...
Here is description of the two upper radiator hose clamps.
Product Details | HOSE CLAMP
4730-00-204-3491 A clamp in which the body (band or wire) completely encircles an item and distributes a relatively even amount of pressure throughout the entire 360 degrees (6.282 radians) of the periphery...
Say which TM is the picture of the hose in and it will have a part number. Put that part number into PartTarget and get the exact specifics then can use that NSN and or MFG part number to get the parts she was built with.

I have checked things for flat and made things flat to join with my favorite stone, I never let anyone use it because they will dig a hole in it doing knifes and stuff. I have always, and still do use, a light spray of Dykem blue and the proper Norton stone & oil and one gets things flat.

They fail to hold at different RPM, decrease/increase in RPMs and such insiduious stuff.
Look in the TM,s for the tensioner and put a new one on, they are waster pieces...
A spray bottle of Dawn is the best, just loosens all the grease and oil. I used newspapers and Dawn and a simple HF spray cleaner, worked really good.
Yours is not so bad, Mine was worse
Don't use stuff that killsthings, not necessary...
To me, if that ONE grounding connector is so important, epecially being easy to get at, I would disable the batteries and pull that thing and give it a 100% refurbishment to "as new" condition. As in even new star washers. One thing at a time and I would start at the grounds. Sometimes the...
