Thanks for the input. I think that's what I'll do.
I guess I screwed up by not just getting some 'basic boot clamps' (from Amazon or, in my case, I think I can probably get them from Summit Racing just down the road from me) instead of getting OEM clamps that no one seems to use. Or, in many cases, even knows how to use. At nearly $50 for the 8 of them, no less! Ah, the Porsche tax...gotta love it!
