The clamp broke on both EGT senders. Is that strange?
The way it is built it looks like I will have to order entirely new senders. It doesn't look like the clamp is sold separately or that it is possible to separate the sender from the clamp.

Cut the old band clamp off the probe with a Dremel tool. Get new band clamps that will fit all the way around the manifold. Drill a hole in the clamp big enough that the probe will slip through. Cut out a piece of thin metal about as big as a dime, and drill a hole in it that will fit the probe just above the wide flange where the old band originally held the probe in place. Cut a slot that same width from the edge to the hole, slip it onto the probe just above the flange and below the new band clamp and tighten it all down.
If it doesn't work, you are out the price of two hose clamps and a half hour of fiddling.

Cristal,
I would splice on a new screw end. Takes a few minutes and it is
inexpensive.
Find a matching hose clamp. Cut away the end with the slots in it. Drill a
hole through the cut solid clamp end that will pass over the probe. Put the
hole end over the probe and match up the two thicknesses, and drill an 1/8
inch ID hole through both. Cut away excess solid length. Insert a
stainless pop rivet through from the inside and pop it. Thread the old
clamping strip through the new screw end and tighten it into place.
