Exhaust U-Clamp sizes for 1.9 DG Waterboxer.

Does anyone know what the exhaust pipe diameters are where the J tubes connect to the exhaust flange on the early waterboxer system?

On my system there's no u-clamps holding the two sections together (I'm talking about where the J tubes from the rear of the block mount to the pipes from the front of the block, just infront of the silencer flange). I want to fit some as it's the MOT tomorrow, one less thing for them to fail it on!

Cheers Dan.

does it leak exhaust gas from this area?

It was leaking a bit as I had to open up the pipe like a flowering plant to get the J tubes out when I did my waterjacket seal.

I managed to get it something like with some oversized jubilee clips and then my local Kwik Fit rather nicely gave me a couple of 42mm U-bolts, which is holding it together nicely. Very nice of them!

It's all good and the van pissed the MOT this morning with no advisories! :ok
