Source for exhaust clamps?

I'm about to mount an exhaust system in my 245 V8 ('63 Olds all aluminum 215) using a 240 Turbo axle pipe-muffler-tailpipe and want to use the original type full circle clamps. They do a good job and don't pinch the pipes. Later on I'll ad a tow hitch so the exhaust will have to come apart. There are two sizes (61mm & 64mm) I couldn't find on-line from the vendors I usually deal with (FCP, IPD and Rock Auto) - out of stock. I could not recall the name of the Volvo dealer that sells on-line. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
BTW-after 10 years dormant and the necessary pre-fire-it-up prep done--it fired on the first crank. It's ALIVE! Now the "punch list" is only about 25 items long to road worthiness :-) Dave

    Hi Dave,

    https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/132694/Exhaust-Clamp-61-64mm-975262/

    I can remember if it was eeuro that is on your do-not-buy list. If not, they also have some much cheaper aftermarket clamps that I can't vouch for. I've bought the aftermarket that FCP sells and found them wanting, but the ones at eeuro look different.

    If this is a double post, it's because my first post isn't showing up on my computer.

      Thanks all for the suggestions. Peter - I don't know how I'd forgotten about eeuroparts. It was Swedish Car Parts in Illinois where I had problems. Looks like the 61-64mm clamp will serve me for each of the three spots. I bought the pipes, muffler and 64mm clamps from FCP - they did not have the 58mm clamp also needed and notified me after making my order that they couldn't supply the 64mm clamps either. IPD supplied a sturdy looking 58mm clamp. -- Dave

    Hi Dave,

    https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/132694/Exhaust-Clamp-61-64mm-975262/

    The price on these continues to rise.

    There's a much less sturdy and cheaper knock off of these available, but they won't pull like the original.

    FCP Euro continues to use the image of the original when selling the knock off, so beware. I've asked them to take it down with no results.

    Peter

    I expect there’s quite a few places you can get these.
    Here’s an example.

    Also try googling

    Exhaust T-bar clamp

    Harbour freight might have them.
