Original style 914-6 terminal (aka dust bellows boot clamp) 914-332-335-00 for CV joints appear to be NLA. I assume I can reuse my protection caps and add new dust bellows. That leaves the clamp. I'll try to reuse my existing clamps, but if that fails does anyone have experience with:
All the CV boots now have the rubber boot crimped into them. They do not fit over the top and have the band.
He's talking about the boot clamp where is fits to the axle itself.
I too need this part.
No way I'd choose the Porsche strap over the McMasters pinch clamp.
You really need the correct pinch clamp pliers but a straight end cutting dyke will work if your careful.
The pinch clamp will not fail if it's installed properly.
These are the correct pliers

I used a small plastic wire tie.
I don't using anything on my 6. There has never been anything that seeped out. I will have to see what I did on my 4.
Look for oetiker clamps.
Last ones I purchased I got from Bel-Metric
This it the best advise you got so far. The oetiker (sp) clamp is used for pex plumbing also. Lowes and most auto parts stores has them to rent.

SS screw clamps found in the plumbing department. I would screw up the plier, clamping stuff.
Pex used in hydronic heating is pressure tested at 80psi+.

For anyone following along, some more datapoints:
The Rein rubber boot part is about 5mm smaller opening (48 mm) on the large end of the boots compared to what I took off our car, despite it being associated with 901-332-293-11 as found in the factory parts catalog. I don't see how you would get them to fit. You could argue the original stretched over time, but if you are able to https://www.stoddard.com/90133229310.html, it is the correct size (53mm). Even then it was a struggle to get them on.
I was very careful removing the terminal (aka boot clamp). As such I was able to get them replated and reuse them thanks to some https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I3H6UIC.
I've had good luck with SS Zip Ties for use on things that aren't under much or any pressure:

You can even buy a little hand tool that will pull them tight.
Low profile, clean looking, never failed me yet. Used them on T1 Swing Axel Boots and other CV boots.
