exhaust clamps

[agentpineapple]

just a quicky
the 2 clamps where the linkpipes attach to the downpipes are very corroded, i can't even get a socket on them, what would be the best option.....cut them off, or is there another way???

[Wicky]

Try a hacksaw if you've got room to get at the bolt shafts or an angle grinder if you carefully thin em so before they completely going through and damaging the link pipe

Then get some Mikalor W4 marine grade fully stainless replacements

[simo]

If you get to the shank , cut through there. The head end will come away then once off some heat on the fixed nut and grips on the rest of the shank it might come out. Run a Tap through before putting together with a Stainless steel bolt. Good luck.

cheers gents, the ones i'm cutting off are the mikalor W2, so not marine grade i guess....

[Wicky]

W2 has a stainless clamp but a relatively weak zinc plated bolt and thread lock. Splash out on W4s.

Or buy 2's and fit a SS bolt and nut before installing.
Might be cheaper.

Can anyone quickly confirm the correct sizes of exhaust clamps for me?

I'm in need of all 3 - both the link pipes and 1 for the wee pipe at the rear head.

Cheers!

As there can be differences in the size of clamp depending on wether you have OEM pipes or aftermarket pipes to connect to the header, the best way is to measure the circumference where you want clamped, bung the measurement here http://www.onlineconversion.com/circlesolve.htm to find the baseline diameter clamps you need.

using standard downpipes/headers and scorpian linkpipes, you need 51/55mm where the end cans meet the linkpipes, but its smaller where the linkpipes meet the downpipes/headers...43/47mm
i hope this helps fella

Top man! Wicky's link would have worked, but given that I'm currently 200 miles away from my bike it's not an option!

Hold fire until the weekend- I've just today received three W4 47-51's, and if I need a different size I'll have one or two spare.

They're made in Spain, though, maybe you can get them locally for less?

see if tony has any leftover, i use these guys, very fast delivery and a decent price, i think d.s wants £17 for one clamp iirc.....
