I use regular hose clamps, the funnels/ducts have a small chamfer to prevent the hose from slipping off. They funnels/ducts are quite sturdy where you put the hose clamps, but remember that they are made out of plastic and over tightening the hose clamps will break the plastic!
You will need some M8 16 mm (4 of each) and M6 16 mm (6 of each) bolts/nuts/shims for the front ducts, and 4 x 3" hose clamps. And for the backing plates you reuse the bolts that hold it in place and you need 8 x M4 12 mm bolts/nuts/shims (16 x shims preferably, but 8 works) for the funnels on the backing plates.
