Refrigerator Clamp I seen another member use some kind of refrigerator clamp for his rear pipe mount just before where the silencer mount up to the frame.
I trying to find who and where he found the clamp.
The reason why just 2 hours on my new CR500 build the rear mounting point on my new P/C S/H pipe broke in half just above the welds there is about .030 of a inch between the mount and the pipe now I don’t what to remove the plating on the pipe to get it welded back up.
Plus getting in where the pipe mounts up to weld the pipe is a very tight area to tack weld it in place so it will have the correct placement I thinks a bolt on type clamp mite work better there I can adjust it as needed.

Bob called it a band clamp and the builder (don't remember who) bought it at Grainger. I'm considering the same thing.

I start looking for one

Thanks

I used a wide hose clamp, or it could be called a band clamp. This is my build.

can you post a pic? I'm doing a gen 4 crf250 like yours

camera died, but if you really want i can take a video with the go pro

its easy, just grind the rear mount off and use the clamp as a mount
nmdesertrider gave me the idea, i used one like it except instead of a "T bolt" it was a nut and bolt, so i got a standard bolt that fit thru and used it

you still use the rubber pipe mount thingy, and you will need to weld a mount somewhere ( if its not a sh or already done)

heres the thread that told me all i need to know... really the hardest part is grinding the old mount off

No rush on the pic. It would be nice at some point. My camera crapped out recently as well, didn't like that much but the new one is great.

the ones i have are labeled:
Mikalor
27-29
W2

I've seen the clamps at grainger, I just didn't know what I was looking at. I'd like to see how you guys made em work.............

put them on the pipe,
put the bolt thru from the hanger into the clamp.
ride

OK, so the stock honda rubber mounted hanger is being sandwiched and the bolt will still tighten the clamp then? Or are we talking about custom hangers?

yup, but if its a stock 250 f subframe your gonna need to weld a mount on, my sh has the mount for the hanger 2 and 5/8" (center to center) from the subframe mount and the center of the welded mount is 7/8" tall

just buy the clamp and look at it and everything will fall into place without even thinking about it

ok i kinda get it BUTT;

At one point it was rubbing on the subframe but when I got the right combination of parts and washers it floats the way it should.
