JCW air intake install question?

I'm finishing up installing the JCW air intake on my 05 MCS and am having a hard time putting the clamps back on the air intake. Can any one advise me to get these put back on? Thanks!

You are almost there. Just did the same install a week or so ago. Wasn't that vacuum line a bear? Back to your question. My Bentley manual says to buy new ones once they've been removed. To me they look like the type of clamps that are used to hold CV boots on. No matter what I tried I couldn't get them back together. What I did was go to my friends at the local import parts emporium. Three thin hose clamps of the proper dimensions had me zooming down the road.

Thanks Chuck, I was leaning that way. The vacuum line was challenging especially trying to find it! Anyone else that has installed the JCW air intake have any input on this? Is this what others have done or were you able to reuse the original clamps?
