MG TD TF 1500 - TD/TF Exhaust Pipe Clamps- Frank C.

Hi All,

Some time ago Frank Cronin mentioned that he used a new designed type of clamp for joining the exhaust pipes on his newly rebuilt TF.

The new design was neater compared to the U bolt/not
arrangement generally supplied by the MG retailers.

Does anyone know who supplies the new type of clamps?
(I think the supplier was located in the USA).

You can get the T bolt clamps like Peter and Bill are using from Repco or Blackwoods etc. but the unit in Peter's pic looks a bit lightweight for an exhaust clamp, more like a hose clamp

What you need are called exhaust band clamps
You can get them from motorcycle shops like-

I used a band clamp. Various companies make them. You can position the clamp to give it a nice clean look and is not ugly like a U bolt clamp and won't distort the pipe if you have to disassemble.
