if you don't mind spending $3.50 you can buy a radiator hose clip for a Healey 100 and use the strap material in your old clip... The strap material is the same dimensionally! part # 326.350 from Moss

I have 40 years experience with the Healey bits! If you buy Moss rad clamp for a 100/4 you'll be able to use the strap material in the OE Tiger/Alpine clip with no problems at all! Moss part # 326.350

Hey Guys
I sourced an original band clamp from another TEAE club member. It cleaned up nicely and will go on the car.
That said, I also pursued rebuilding the original. I used the AH clamps recommended by Sean.
Upon receipt, I trimmed the length down to a similar size as original (I gave myself an extra 1/4 inch.) I thin looped around the wire bracket, inserted the other end through the cotter pin and then tightened everything down.
It looks pretty good. Give that shiny band a little patina and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. Thanks for the tip. Hope this helps somebody down the line.
