FH - exhaust clamps

You might remember that I brought some exhaust clamp screws from Draganfly that were the wrong size - my fault not theirs. One of the jobs I have on the list is to make some new ones and that's what we're going to do today.

The clamps are 5/16" CEI and have this 45 degree feature on the plain side:

I bought some 0.445" 303 stainless steel hex bar to make some new screws. The picture below shows the first one, prior to parting off:


I put the prototype screw in place to determine how long the hexagon needed to be in order to get access for the spanner, marking it with a Sharpie:


Here's the finished screw, parted off, faced off and provided with a tidy chamfer:


Lovely. Fitted with a dose of Copaslip.

I just need to make another one!
