that style clamp is good for the lower sections, the mikalor supra clamps that came with my vectors had a stainless band with plated steel bolt that rusts after years in the elements,

it is way overkill for the sections higher up,
anything but the cheapest dollar shop chineese made hose clamps are stronger than the thin sirio tube,
all you do using big strong clamps is add weight and wind load,
imagine you are building a f1 car not a monster truck,

the punched band all stainless breeze marine grade clamps that jay uses for the 1-10k are plenty strong enough for the sirio upper sections without adding too much weight & wind load,

only slot the tube enough to get a clamp on, if you slot the swaged sections all the way its ruined.
