    I buy them at Oreily's
    Your air filter housing needs to have the silkscreening done if you are picky about hoses and clamps.

    Be aware that new is one thing and historically or 'concours' correct is a whole other thing.

    If you want new then the European style gear clamps from companies like Norma, Gemi, or Zebra are all excellent options. Many of these are available from McMaster Carr

    If you are after concours points then your best bet is to remove what you have (assuming it is original and correct) and then have them carefully restored. If you are missing anything then you will have to source some old clamps and have those restored. Historically correct NOS clamps are near impossible to find so you will go down the restoration route. Expect this to cost many times more than new clamps

    Lastly, don't for a moment think that if you order clamps from Ferrari you will get what the car came with. They will send you a replacement that fits and works well but is no different than sourcing out your own clamps.

    As for hoses, original looking replacements are available but you will first have to research what is correct for your car before hunting down replacements.

    Belmetric is another good source for hose clamps.

    Smaller diameter metric braided hoses are the same as used in some VW applications. I get them by the roll from Wurth.

    Larger diameter braided hoses are available from Aeroquip and can be bought from many industrial and hydraulic manufacturers by the foot.

    Alternatively T Rutlands should have most of these hoses available too.

    Don't throw away old original clamps. They are quite valuable.
