High Quality Cooler Clamps

[B-Man]

I've seen those really high quality (anodised, I think) Intercooler hose clamps around.

Anyone know where you get them ? (online or shopfront)

I've done a stack of google searches and I can only find the standard stainless steel clamps.

Thanks in advance.

B-Man, head to your nearest Pirtek, they have the clamps that you want.

Also spotted behind the counter of a local repco recently.. t bolt clamps..

Yeah... Enzed, Pirtek, Purple Pig.

All have the big chunky clamps

Although if your blowing piping, it also doesnt hurt to add to the lip around the pipe end. This provides more for the clamp to stop at.

I had to add a 3-4mm to the diameter even with big fat clamps for one of my pipes in setups gone by. It just wouldnt hold 24psi until i lipped it a bit more

I think he is talking about these (circled in black)

Speak to Bezerkley Automotive, on their website there are some pics of a car with them.

what ur after is agricultural clamps

pirtek enzed etc like the guys above had said sell them

[FineLine]

Tbolt clamps solved my prob but, as Shanef said, if you can get the ag clamps you own it.

Thanks guys - I'm not blowing a pipe off - I want them cause:

A) they look good

B) I don't want to blow a pipe off

don'tfeelcold - they are the ones - cheers !

Wiggin's clamps ( the purple ones) are the shiz...bit exy though...if you find them somewhere at reasonable cost id like some too.

EDIT: here's some.. http://atsperformance.com.au/ATS/catalog/cat_fuel.htm

i would avoid the t-bolt clamps b-man. they are ok, but mainly just work by exerting a shitload more pressure on things. having that much force can damage the joiners and sometimes the pipes themselves, partically the cast alloy pipes. the wiggans clamps are good shit but very pricey, and not sure they are really designed to work with 'normal' style piping and silicone joiners. I would reccomend the sard dual bead clamps. they look like a normal hose clamp, but have 2 sealing beads so less force is required on them to maintain a good seal, and they don't damage your hoses.

Thanks guys - been searching on those Wiggens ones - US$97 for a 3" = and I need 6 of them plus others - fark that......

Where to get the Sard one Richard ?

I'm not keen on the T-Bolt ones either.
