Hi Folks,

I am forever having trouble keeping the exhaust heat shield located
using the 6 inch worm drive band clamps. I tighten hem up as hard as I
can but they expand with the heat and vibrate off.

I'm looking for a source of the type of clamp found on the Rotax oil
tank holding the two halves together (except with a plain band not a
v-section) that you do up then close tighter with a mechanical lever.

Any ideas?

Hi MartinI am unfamiliar clamps that hold on 912/s heat shields (have a 914). You may want to have a look at www.mcmaster.com for some ideas.Ron Parigoris [quote][b]

Hi Martin,
Europa recently issued a SB recommending lockwiring of the clamps for this

reason. I did mine and found that they had become very loose after 40 hours.
Now still fine after 120 hours. The lockwiring is a bit fiddley but not too
difficult.

Take them off and get rid of the heat shield, not really needed and excess
weight
