Where to find this style clamp

[Swanny]

Its for my moped exhaust and I can't seem to find anything sturdy enough.



Unfortunately I can't fit a U bolt in the area and band clamps aren't going to give enough clamping force. The pipe diameter is around 34/35mm which puts it right between 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 inches.

^ Nailed it.

I'm sure home depot would have conduit clamps or something that'd work (if you need it done ASAP today that is)

I have one off my Puch, you can have it.

[Swanny]

Most of the puch stuff is a smaller diameter pipe, usually in the 25-30mm range. I'll swing by HD or Lowes and check the conduit clamps just in case. I knew they looked familiar but couldn't remember a name. Thanks again R3V!

Nothing better/worse than piecing together project vehicles with stuff from hardware stores.

where else do you suggest getting replacement nuts/bolts/studs? from BMW directly?

[RedReplicant]

Order yourself a nice stash of bolts from McMaster or something.

You guys don't have Fastenal in your area? They're much cheaper than home depot and have every kind of bolt/screw you could want - and if they don't have it they can make it

[jrobie79]

the local Ace Hardware down the street from my garage has 95% of what I need when I replace bolts/nuts that kinda shit. I have had to order from fastenal before, but my local hardware store has most of what I need....however home depot and lowes metric selection is awful

looks like tie rod clamp

We do(Swanny and I that is).

Yes, yes it is. I have just been hoarding random hardware for years to compensate for the lack of local availability. We have a couple Fastenal's in town, but at 20-30 minutes each way it's a pain.

i can agree this. before i used to get all my nuts and bolts from osh but they closed it down.
