Perrin 2.5" V-Band Clamp

Hello.

So I need a new Perrin 2.5" V-Band clamp, but I am unsure of the best place to get them. I know Perrin has them listed on their website but to ship it here for when I want it seems pricey. Anyone have any input?

I assume I could source another one of these from somewhere else as I doubt they are Perrin specific parts, just unsure of how to go about doing it.


TLDR Do I order the Perrin 2.5" v-band clamp from their website and pay for the better shipping
or
Is there another place to source a clamp?

I would think it's a standard V-Band clamp, not a specific Perrin part...

yeah this was my thought too but I don't want to order something and then have it not fit correctly. Ideally I would get a response from @PERRIN to confirm.

Hey sorry for not getting on here sooner, that V band looks like it might work, but I'm not 100% sure. To be sure to get the best part, I'd suggest ordering it straight from us, at least you'd know that it'll fit, and it'll be a quality v band.
