Default Clamp size for radiator hoses

Preparing to do a radiator and hose replacement on a Miata located some distance away, and I don't have a car at hand to measure. Anybody know the nominal diameter for a radiator hose clamp on the NB so I can pre-purchase in case they're needed?

Don't have my car handy to measure, but in my 'useful miata facts' notebook I jotted down "The larger hoses are around 40mm OD and the heater hoses about 25mm". Hope someone else can verify.

Will measure my car tomorrow.
