JustGav Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Does anybody know where I can get some decent clamps for my boost pipes 2.5" stuff... I'm not happy with jubilee clips as I'm constantly blowing the pipes off at the moment. Thanks Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 You could do worse than Mikalor clamps, Envy still do them perhaps. Make sure to roughen up the contact areas though, especially if you have fancy silicon hoses (slippery!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah I was looking at the mikalor stuff... That should do the job nicely actually.. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hornet Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yup they certainly do the job Happy mikalor user Hornet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, just getting tired of the boost hoses blowing off every time we do a test flight... Go down the the road, hit 1.4 bar and the pipe just launches off down the road... I need to put a seam weld on the pipe as well to help it to hold.

JohnA Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 ...I need to put a seam weld on the pipe as well to help it to hold. Yes, that helps a lot too. I've had mikalor clamps work themselves loose though, so they do need retightening periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Use a bit of hairspray on the pipes to where they meet the hose. Will go on lubricated and then hold in place (helped of course with the clamps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Mine are better than his though lol Gaz. Did we expect anything less... His rings do come with a free pidgeon, and if you buy three you get a whippet attached to one too! Flat cap or hairnet optional! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
