johnd-mkiv Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Cant stop the exhaust from leaking on the V band clamp, do they make an uprated clamp as the 6mm bolt that clamps it seems a bit or maybe a thin gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The ones on eBay are very good believe it or not. They have a taper on the v part that pulls the 2 faces together for a tight seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have one of them but cant stop it leaking on the joint part of the v band where the pinch bolt connects the two halfs. Im close to welding it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Maybe the sealing faces are warped/damaged? A V band should have all the clamping force you'll ever need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just a thought is the V band clamp the right size, may not be clamping tight enough. Had difficulty getting the right size when I lost a clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
