Subject: Exhaust Headers fixing / fittings ~ bolts wanted Sat Apr 09, 2022 5:26 am
I have fitted my Termi, complete with U connector pipe to the 2 downpipes. My problem is that the bracket supplied has no fixings / bolts(?). Look as if it should be a pair of steel bars, one threaded with a bolt running through, akin to other exhaust fixings I’ve seen.
I thought of reusing the above fixings but they’re fixed into the clamps.

I ordered some stainless t-bolt/Mikalor style clamps from carbuilder.com, fwiw. Measured and ordered closest fitment. That said, OEM is probably heavier-gauge/more resilient.

The OEM clamps (GU06123401) seem to be available from the usual Guzzi vendors but do not come cheap:
AF1 (USA)
Stein Dinse (Germany)
TLM (Netherlands)

I would not use stainless fittings anywhere on an exhaust fitting, because of the likelihood of galling. Don't ask me how I know!
Read about it… Wow! Up to 40 years ago I was a Marine Engineer, and I’ve never heard of this, or have I forgotten? Learn something new every day. Thanks

Yes def not cheap @ £87 in uk, and €85 in Netherlands + carriage. As Pete said earlier, no separate parts available. Fingers crossed that a search by previous owner proves successful.
Measure at 57.5mm diameter, so I’ve ordered a pair of Mikalor stainless clamps for £7 …CopperSlip will be used
