3" v-band clamp

[pete1979]

for anyone turboing a e30 with a holset turbo you will know how hard it is to get hold of a 3" v-band clamp. well after spending a day driving round every commercial parts dealer in the land and getting prices from £45-£70. i found that the very part i was looking for was used on DAF wagons (local DAF dealer is only a 5 minute drive from me.. doh!! ) a DAF 45 to be exact and at only £14.71 inc vat i thought it was cheap. so if anyone is in need of such an item get to your local DAF dealer with part number 1701995 hose/pipe clamp for a DAF45 and if you get stuck id be happy to help.
