Intercooler Clamps......not The Average Sh!t

[r33_racer]

We have been using the truck intercooler clamps from local diesel truck spares. They are 3/4" wide and have a T bolt that has a slight bend in it before the thread. The other half has a locating tube for the bolt to stick through and you just do up the nut. Functions more like a stud. Can easily generate enough pressure to severely deform the pipe(alloy). Easy to assemble and disassemble with a ratchet. Actually they look almost exactly like a v band clamp just minus the v section. If you get them from the truck shop they are usually American made and all stainless, I believe Breeze is one of the brand names that comes to mind.

Otherwise Plazmaman makes a similar clamp like the wiggins but a lot cheaper and still pretty good quality being Aussie made. Weldon ferrule with o ring seal and two half moon sections with a hinges joint of some kind. Much like the turbosmart v band clamps they supply with their wastegates.
