Want to replace the silicone hoses in an Isomac Tea.

I have a small amount of hose i bought a while back from one of the online vendors and is the same ID as the overflow hose that goes back into the tank. Not sure but the inlet/pump hose ID appears to be a hair larger. Going to shop home depot or an auto parts this weekend for replacement hoses since i already have the case off.

1. If there is a small ID difference between the inlet/outlet hoses will it make a difference if replaced with just one size ?
2. OEM hose is held in place by plastic ziptie type clamp not sure if they used a special tool to apply pressure, what can i use as a replacement clamp. The OPV and pump hoses were just pushed in without any ziptie.

Thanks, WS
