3 inch V-Band

Anyone got one in the LA area? Or know of a place that has them in stock?


Stripped the bolt on the one I've got

THANKS!

wacky, that place is awesome. I picked up a v-band from them but the T bolt is a bit shorter than the original. I'll give it a try tomorrow. It was only 5 bux (compared to 20$ that I saw on line and was quoted from D C Performance Inc)

I owe you a beer for just recommending that place. There's a whole wall of braided hoses! Seriously that place is absolutely a jewel.

if it doesn't work AA, I might have to go to your place. Thanks for the help, also. Kinda new to LA so I'm not familiar with too many performance shops. Lucky7 is about it.

$5 for a v-band clamp? I'd be a bit worried about the quality. Just go to X02 racing next to Lucky7, they sell Clampco's. I got a pair for my longtubes over there for like $30/each with flanges.

the quality was good; however the T-bolt in it was a bit too short. I ended up at some Viper performance store just off the 10 (15 minutes away). and picked up one.


I got it all hooked up but the stupid thing won't start now. I'm thinking it's flooded but the de-flooding procedure didn't fix it. I'll have to take a look at it in the daylight.

I swear to god that the 7 is one of the most unreliable cars I've ever owned. I think I've about had enough of this silly car.

the only problem with the SRT-4 is that it's a chrysler product. I've sworn off chryslers' since once owning a dodge intrepid. I mean you have to take off the passenger side front wheel to get to the battery. Where does that get fun?!?

Btw, the title is very misleading. It seem like your looking for someone with a 3". If thats the case, I recommend Goofy.

I think you got confused with all the exhaust fumes coming into the passenger cabin from the SRT4, you might have gotten the equation wrong !

LS1 and FD = SRT-4 killer

the only thing that kills a rotary car is the rotary engine.
