I would have them already but the grooves are cut all the way through like slots and that is bad for silicon hoses as they are quite soft on the outside and squish through the slots, the act of tightening causes the slot to move and this can tear the hose.
I'm talking to the manufacturer to get him to make a duplicate of the stainless worm drive clamp.

For the same reason I would not recommend the mikalor clamp, they have square edges which will cut into the hose. The clamps sold by Samco have rolled edges to prevent this.
