Help finding Tube Exhaust Clamps 60mm
I've had the centre box of the Amuse repaired again.
To save having to remove the exhaust and transport it and loose the car for the duration, I had the box cut out and a straight pipe fitted.
This will allow the box to be removed if required at a later date if it requires any further fettling
Basically if I remove the straight pipe, the amuse silencer box and tails will fit right back into the run (like a but joint) I just need to seal the pipe back together.
I'm now trying to find a Band Exhaust Clamp in the UK that will fit 60mm pipe.
It looks like this ...
But all I can find are US ones at 2 1/4" (56.89mm) or 2.5" (63.5mm) I'm pretty sure these connect/are pulled together to make the seal so the smaller will gap and the larger will spin on the pipe. There are options like bandage etc but I'd rather find a 60mm band clamp.
I can find lots of Benelli clamps but they won't do the job. Flexable would do the job but would mean cutting more of the exhaust tube out to get them in.
I've seen one for an Audi 90 or 100 that might do the job but can't find anything about it.
Anyone got any contacts or suppliers I should try.

I'll ask a mate that has a parts shop. I've got a smaller size of this rolling about in the beater for no real reason.

I know it's not perfect but what about two 60mm mikalors and some stainless tubing?
They are an option
but I'd prefer the tube clamp.

Who repaired it this time Allan? Jon said he'd lost the welders and Merc weren't doing any more.
As far as I'm aware that is the situation now.
