I was driving out to bug the guy making our intake manifold flanges
and I had this idea for reducing the cost of the wiggins couplings.
I don't have a price yet but I think this might be cheaper
than machining a split clamp out of aluminum bar stock on an NC lathe.

It will be cut out with the hydro jet process.
You could also make your own with aircraft snips.

It will be up to you to bend it up, form it and bolt it around
the sleeve with three 6-32 SS screws and lock nuts.
This part will hold the whole works together.
No hose clamps will be necessary so it will be a bit lighter
and probably more reliable.
