Does anybody know who stocks those special clamps to seal the lcb/ y piece joints? I have none on my car and the pipes leak. Car sounds like a tractor

HI guys I am just wondering what type of clamp is used to clamp the 2 into one collector to a set of LCB's? Is it just 2 small ones or is there like a double one available? thanks everyone. |

You LCB's should come with the right one. I know that mine did. I will have to leave it up to someone else to comment if they were single or double ones. |

Lots of different LCBs. Mine have two pipes going down to a junction where the it curls to under the car. It doesn't have clamps - just a tag that bolts it to the gearbox. It doesn't move and doesn't leak. No clamps. Mike |

Mine are maniflow lcb's and have separate clamps on each part of the 'Y' piece (excluding the rear, that is welded). They are not the 'U' clamps like on the rest of the system but go completely around one pipe each. Like a 'C' with tabs c= and then get a bolt through the side tabs. They have to go on as you put the system together. |

No clamps. Mike thanks mike, I have the same ones as you I think. I will just put something sticky on them and slip em in. |

I find the best thing to use is copper grease, it's an anti-seize compound. One brand is Ampol `Kopr-Kote'. Makes it easier to get apart next time. |

I've seen the heavy duty hose clamps used. The ones with the bolt. |

Any good hardware store will sell stainless T bolt clamps.. Don't do anything too permanent .. if you can't take off the Y piece you will not be able to remove the LCB without lifting the engine out first.. Cheers, Ian |
