£9.52 for a clamp, Christ does it come with a free exhaust?! Well they must really be something special, if u think they are tops i`ll get them. But what makes them so good? Patrick I do have ramps, so looking forward to an excuse to use them.

Ben,go for the expensive ones.The problem with the ones you,and I,have on our cars,is that they are not cast,so after a few on and offs,they bend,and the clamps end up clamping on each other (if you know what I mean).The cast ones will allow you to really clamp the pipes tight without any distortion,thus having no leaks :) .
I really have to buy four for Trevor,and this has just reminded me :lol: .

Ben don't use exhaust paste. Use copper grease.

I'm not sure stainless is a good idea - it has a tendency to 'cold weld' itself and there's just no undoing it.

Tomorrow I shall venture into the garage see what state the clamps are in. There will probably look like something off the Titanic....as it is now :o I will take some pics while I'm there.

Dave, just for clarity, just to fix the cross box, do I need 4 clamps or is it 2 :?

James, I promise not to use exhaust paste or as its a French car, exhaust terrine :D

Heat exchanger clamp left hand.

Exhaust clamp.

Think I will be replacing the clamps. I see I need three clamps in answer to my previous question.

Just as well buy all 5. You need to slacken the fannymould to heat exchanger ones to wiggle & jiggle and line it all up, it's a total war else. If they're all as sausaged as the ones in your pics bite the bullet & delve deep. :)

blimey :lol: i reckon you,ll need a grinder to cut thro the bolts
they look like the cast iron ones so despite the rust they could still be ok on the inside-- use new bolts
(tin hat on) :)
