Seattle - Where to get t-clamps?

Post by BSOD2600 »

I'm in the final stages of getting my TMIC/TD05 installed. Took it for a drive, started to get on boost and the TMIC/coupler blew right off and stalled the engine. Apparently the 3" T-clamps I got (SKU: 2795-VIB) are too big.

Where in the northern Seattle area, can I buy ~2 3/4" T-clamps? I really don't want to order online and wait for another week w/o a car.

Look for an industrial pipe connector company...something like A1 Coupling

For inquiring minds who want to know...

Schucks carries a very limited supply of t-bolt clamps, part # 8703 in my case. Stupidly, they only ever carry ONE at each store... crises adverted :)

NAPA carries a variety of constant torque bands, which work quite well for this application.

Yes my work uses it as their main hardware and other misc. items supplier. So many great things at decent prices on there, from spring loaded t-bolt clamps to metric hardware to taps/dies. The other great thing (atleast in Minnesota) is ground shipping means Speedy delivery next day

12 t-bolt clamps any size you want (you can mix & match as much as you like) for $22.

I'm in NYC & if I order Mon morning my package arrives on Fri from Cali, so you should get a package in a couple of days as your on the west coast.

My local Hose place wants $5 per clamp so this is a great deal in my opinion.

The point was not that I couldn't find t-bolt clamps online -- thats relatively easy. It was that I needed then ASAP and on Monday, when I originally posted. Did not want to wait the week for something online to be shipped to me.

Anywho, it's all resolved now and I got it working.... until my timing belt jumped. grrrr.
