The Blue hose sold nowadays is 7mm vs. the original 7.5mm so it is a very tight fit. I know the part books show a small clamp but I don't think it is needed and I have never seen one there, my coupe doesn't have/need them either. The original hose had a distinct white braid in it which you probably won't find. Glad to see that some of us here really value originality!
