    I need #31 on this diagram. Mine cracked. I think I only need one, but will take two if you have them. Would rather not pay dealer pricing for something so silly.

    Thanks friends.

    Is yours part 28 or the clamp #31? If 31, mine cracked as well. Fixed with a little spot weld from my HF welder and it has held fine for over a year now. Already paid for the tool with that fix. Plenty of SS aftermarket clamps available on ebay as well.

    If yours is #31, more than willing to put a spot weld on yours for you if you want to send it my way, no charge. At least it would hold you over until you find a new one. PM me if you want the address.

    Crap, you know what. It might be 31 now that I think about it. I'll take a look underneath when I get home. I appreciate the offer!

    I had a little Lincoln 110v mig that I used to play with. My welds looked like turds. It's definitely a art.

    Mine are welded directly to the cats now.

    Right. I have a hard time paying $130 for something that should cost $5.

    Found a nicer fitting, stronger band clamp from a turbo parts dealer in California. Think I paid $13 each, will never break again, easy to install and peace of mind on the road.
    Find someone who sells parts for turbo systems, the clamps are for the down pipe, think were fir 2-2/34" pipe.

    If you do replace it definitely save the old one. It's an easy fix for a decent welder.

    One of mine was broken. I went to order a new and saw the price, welded it back together and it seems fine.
