Mikalor Style Clamps - Just Sean - 14-01-2013

B and q? If not then eBay.. You can still Just pay by card instead of PayPal


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Just Sean - 14-01-2013

bnq ... really?

Dont look very strong!


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Midnightclub - 14-01-2013

Can't see any reason why they wouldn't? Told you the leak was off the turbo Tongue


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - darrenjlobb - 14-01-2013

doubt b n q will have them....

My local hydrolic fitting place sells them...you maybe have something similar near by?

That said, I acaully personally hate the genuine mikalor ones, I dont like the style with bolt and built in nut, the ones with built in bolt and a nut (ebay chinease copies) work far better, and the thinner stainless band flexs to fit the pipe much better, not often id say it, but i find the cheap copies much better than the genuine ones!


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Just Sean - 14-01-2013

Intresting! Might get some cheap ones then. Will try ebay if i can pay via debit card

Are these cheap enough darren?

RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Just Sean - 14-01-2013

Need paypal for those ones anyway! Grrr


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Harky - 14-01-2013

Pretty sure those are just your normal jubilee clamps, which slip when you try to tighten them too tight... You might have to splash out a wee bit more!


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - swampy - 14-01-2013

Yep those are jubilee clips, for boost you want Mikalor or copies there of


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - HDIkyle - 14-01-2013

Got these. 40 - 43mm. Should be right. Its for the turbo 90degree elbow


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Midnightclub - 14-01-2013

perfec


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - darrenjlobb - 14-01-2013

U need the ones with cranked bolts and thin retainer plate, or else they have to be the exact size / never work right / will drive you insane if your silicon is thicker on some than other.


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Toms306 - 14-01-2013

They are such a pita to size properly, bought 3 before I got one the right size because they have so little adjustment! I also used the ASH ones though...


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Just Sean - 14-01-2013

Aslong as i can get it nice and tight it shouldnt leak anyway. The hose is 38mm diameter and the inlet on the turbo is 41mm... It might be leaking at the 90degree to c5 lower pipe end as iirc theyre both 41mm... IF 40mm is too big then its only a quid or so for the size smaller.

The problem is you have to alow for silicon as well...which makes it confusing, say you have a 63mm pipe, a 63mm clamp will be a **** to get on once silicon is in situe, or at least it is if you use quality thick silicon anyway..


RE: Mikalor Style Clamps - Toms306 - 14-01-2013

Yeah I realised that after the first one....2nd one was too big though instead! Doh
