Title: pipe clamp??
Post by: flsurfdog on May 30, 2008, 03:31:44 PM
ok so i need a new clamp that connects the top header pipe to the mid pipe.....not really sure how i screwed it up, but the SOB will only make a 1/4 to 1/2 turn in either direction.....as it is it's too tight to fit over the pipe, and even if i could get it over i wouldn't be able to tighten it down.

so the side of this little sucker says
NORMA
ND 49
47-51
W4

I'm guessing the 47-51 is the diameter range and norma is some company out of germany that makes it....but their website doesn't have a place to order.  I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to find one, but if they don't have it, does anyone know where i can get one?

thanks

A good auto parts store or muffler shop should be able to help ypu with something similar.

maybe you need to get the mesh V-gasket and not the clamp.

uhhh... huh?  ???

anyway.....after an even greater loss in faith in atlanta triumph ducati, i went to home depot and got a hose clamp.    Hasn't fell off yet but what's this mesh v-hasket thing you mention?

a proper exhaust pipe clamp will probably serve you better... unless it's those cheapy U-bolt types...
