Mike you can have both. Some of the period style clamps I bought would not close up enough to suit the hoses on the engine. I simply made my own period looking hose clamps. To bridge the gap I fitted a small stainless steel strip with both ends tapered on the hose and tightened the screw. They look good and don't leak.

Years ago Melvin Clemens was told a worm drive hose clamp was not correct of

I was at that West Coast meet. I too saw this unmolested Cord. I was standing with Randy and Ron and asked Randy the same question about the oilier for the throw-out bearing.Ron said it was NOT original. Also the rear bumper has an extra stiffener piece added for the tow hitch. It too was not original. The asbestos pipe insulation on the exhaust header pipes was original and it was held to the steel pipe with band clamps. The same pipe insulation can be made today using a material called calsil. It comes in different thickness and pipe size up to about 30 inch diameter. Its common in power generating steam plants. I used it plenty in the distant past.

Jim, I have pictures of the rope I've seen in years past meeting the West Coast in Morro Bay. It was an original uninfected car. Mark Tommy was looking under her. I was asking Randy Emma about an extra copper tube extension for the oil cap area of the disposal bearing. Ron Erwin also requested Randy that was the original extension. vnvideoeditorpc.com/

Correcting the clamps seems to be a worthy project.

The hasteners were simalar to the design of the Speed Test Scrabble Word Finder Solitaire under hood wire fasteners along the radiator supports that held the horns.Stan sells them.

Original exhaust wrap was shaped and molded Asbestos held on with aluminum straps similar to the wire harness wraps. It was about 1/2 inch thick asbestos. Most generating stations from the past used Asbestos on all piping. It was called Asbestos pipe because it came in half the diameter of the pipe it covered. I used to remove it from main steam lines and it was well over 6 inches thick. The steam lines were under 3500 lbs of super heated steam at 1000 degrees. We were brave way back then. But not as brave as the Navy boiler romm workers in the ships. Pressure was not like what we had in the power stations but temps were as high as 1500 degrees.

The correct wrap on the exhaust is an interesting topic - I have seen many Auburns with nothing, many with reproduction braided material held on by a variety of clamps, and I saw one possibly original Auburn and it had a molded material that had a wire mesh in it .

Bill I bought a set of original type hose clamps from Restoration Specialities. The items were selected to suit the hoses and were not supplied in a "set" to suit a Cord.

Jim... Here is the car from last years west coast meet with the asbestos exhaust pipe covers. You appear to be correct. My pictures do not show a canvas wrap... But it sure looked that way last year..I'm getting old...

I was asking Randy Ema about an additional copper tube extension to the oil cap area for the throwout bearing. Ron Irwin as asked by Randy was that extension original. No was his answer. I did not ask bout the Asbestos wrap of canvas but did notice it was original and the clamps were original too. I will transfer the pics from my phone to my computer to post here but... I need my daughters help.I'm not bright on picture transfers or much about computers.

Bill,
Here are a couple of photos. The exhaust insulation clamp, some original insulation and clamps and the type of hose clamps for the water tubes. The asbestos insulation was pre-molded and came in two halves that slipped on the internal exhaust pipes and were held on with three clamps. I have never seen a canvas covering on the original asbestos.

Jim is correct. The exhaust was wrapped on Asbestos and had a canvas cover applied over that. The hasteners were simalar to the design of the under hood wire fasteners along the radiator supports that held the horns.Stan sells them.

Bill, Originally the exhaust pipes had a asbestos pipe type insulation on them. They were held in place by a strap that folded on itself. I'll try and get a photo tomorrow for you.
