New member looking for VB finned exhaust clamp

Post by Jim Fitzgerald »

Good evening all.
I have just become the proud owner of a 1958 Ariel VB which will keep my 1958 VH company in the garage. The bike is in fairly original condition and the only thing I can see which is missing is the finned exhaust clamp. I have trawled through ebay and tried a Google search to no avail, also tried Draganfly but they are unavailable with no date for new stock. It seems that the VB is the only bike which has a 2" clamp.
Does anybody on the forum have a spare under the bench which they are willing to sell or have any suggestions where I can purchase one.
Thanks in anticipation
Jim

Pete Kemp made a few bronze ones last year, he advertised them in the Cheval if I remember correctly.
the single port iron VH also has 2" clamps and did the alloy MkI had them also ?

MKI was 1-3/4, I think Panther may have had 2" clamp but that size is unusual and therefore somewhat slow sellers.

Hi Davygan.

I have received no answer to my PM to you. Not sure if there is an issue with the PM system.

Does anybody have contact details for Peter Kemp?

Regards

Jim
