Standard Adel clamps have a hole that's only big enough for an AN3 bolt, but I need to install some clamps to hold wiring in/around the engine using the AN4 case/sump bolts.

   

  Are there special clamps with a 1/4" hole in them, or can I just enlarge the hole in a standard clamp?

   

  Thanks.

Just enlarge to 1/4 inch.  They are especially useful for securing the 

run of alternator wires under cyls 2 and 4.  Use a unibit if you have 

one, a drill bit will tend to grab the clamp and twist it.

 McMaster-Carr has lots of cushioned steel clamps with 1/4" clearance  holes.  They refer to them as Rubber-Cushioned Steel Loop Straps.  I  would recommend the Silicone cushioned Type 304 Stainless steel ones.

FWIW, I used a unibit and enlarged a few MS21919  holes to 1/4".  Same thing, mounted 'em on a few of the bolts around the  sump.  Hasn't fallen out of the sky yet.

The MS21333 clamps  can be had in with several sizes of mounting holes.

  

 see http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/images/pdf/ms21333.pdf for  reference.
