Using the OEM clamps or at least a corbin clamp will maintain the proper tension during thermal expansion and contraction.
You will never find a gear clamp on anything that gets hot.
I prefer corbin clamps because they are reusable and maintain their tension better:

Interesting.
Never knew that and I was about to tackle this job also sometime in the near future. Thanks for the insight. Mighty Mouse always has something good to input!
