I hate them. With a vengeance. Sparky's MOT's due. So I thought I'd better sort the blowing manifold-to-heat exchanger that I sorted before Giel. It's now worse than it was earlier. Arse. Anyway... These are the "Burton clamps", aren't they? Worth the extra dosh? £10 instead of £3 each. |

Just buy the ones ecas sell for £3. Clean any paste that bodgers have smeared all over it off, so you have a clean steel joint, smear of coppaslip, new clamps, job done. Leak free! |

I'd happily pay £15 each for 'em! they make life soooooooo much easier & NO more annoying leaks. Quality bits of kit IMHO. |

These clamps seem to work very good. Haven't got them myself, but know guys who used them with great satisfaction. No leaks, no need to use paste or so. 10euro's @ burtoncar = 7,63pounds don't know how much the postage costs |

I bought my first set (5) at Waggel in 2009, i think i paid €40 as a special 'meeting price'. Money well spent! |

Fair enough, although I've never had a problem with the £3 clamps meself, those pricey ones do look pretty good. I seem to recall from having minis years ago that the early and hard to find cast clamps (very similar to the burton ones) were treated as gold dust. |
