Holset H1E V-band size

Guy's I need to get a v-band camp and flanmge for my single turbo conversion running a Holset H1E.. Only thing is I am not sure what size the clamp/flange classes as? I have asked a few suppliers and they have been no real help.

Basically the flange on the turbo is 4" across the widest external diameter. I need to know what this relates to in clamps terms so I can get a flange and clamp. or wosrt case get a clamp and make a flange to suit!

Please help.

Thank you
Lee

Thanks for the info guy's
I am going to get a shipping price on the downpipe although I fancy making one from scratch!
So does this mean the clamp is a 3.5" v-band? The first link shows a 4" clamp but I was advised already it's not 4".. Second link says it's or a 3.5" system? So is it a 3.5" clamp?

Thank you
Lee

It's neither, its specific to the holset, which is why its so hard to find and usually expensive. I believe the inside diameter is closer to 3.75. I ended up just machining my own flange and found a clamp locally, but it was like $50.

2A+Ron, I was ogin to machine my own flange.. that's not the issue.. Just to confirm thought the clamp itself is also specific to Holset? and you think it's about 3.75"? All I need is a clamp!
If someone can help me on that it would be cool! The downipe people won't ship to the UK and I am waiting to ear back from the other guy's! If I knew the clamp size for certain I could possibly find one here. Other option is remove the v-band and make a flange that bolts direct to the back of the turbo?

Cheers
Lee
