[SFDXA] Stainless Steel Clamps

[Ed Callaway]

Just keep in mind that, when using muffler clamps designed for automobiles, they are significantly weaker than those recommended for tower service.  There are extensive, repetitive discussions on the Tower Talk reflector on this subject.

They work fine for what they were designed to do -- hold mufflers on cars -- but they are what they are.

NIce.  The 1-5/8 is 2" ID.  the muffler clamps use pipe sizes and not tubing sizes.  As a rule of thumb on larger sizes like these you can add
.375 or 3/8" to the pipe size to get tubing sizes.  The 1-5/8 is great for boom to mast clamps.
