This isn't the #1 item but it's the most recent as I just did it today
... I replaced a lot of the (less-than) Ideal brand stainless hose
clamps with ABA Nova aluzinc clamps that I ordered from here:

http://www.newcoproducts.com/hose-clamps/norma-group2009/page8-12mm-worm-gear-clamp.htm

These clamps are AWESOME. The previous clamps had a bad habit of
stretching/loosening and would allow small leaks, even though I
retightened a couple times.

I first used ABA clamps when I ordered some from Van-Cafe - they are
the clamp they recommend when replacing the fuel lines.
