Replacement Fastener Set for V-Band Clamps

The Replacement Fastener Set for V-Band Clamps by Vibrant Performance is an essential maintenance kit for technicians and enthusiasts who rely on V-band quick-disconnect coupling systems in turbocharger, intercooler, and exhaust manifold applications. V-band clamps are precision components found in high-performance and OEM engine bay configurations, where repeated assembly, disassembly, and vibration exposure gradually wear fasteners to the point of requiring replacement. This dedicated kit eliminates downtime by providing all necessary hardware in one purchase, ensuring your clamping system maintains secure, leak-free seals.

This fastener set includes T-bolts with 1/4-28 inch threads, measuring 3 inches in length, paired with matching locknuts and mockup nuts engineered for optimal clamping pressure distribution. The hardware is manufactured in a dual-material construction: stainless steel bolts resist corrosion in engine bay and turbo environments, while steel locknuts and components receive a zinc oxide finish for durability and vibration resistance. The 1/4-28 thread pitch is the OEM standard for V-band clamp assemblies, ensuring direct compatibility with Vibrant Performance clamps and most aftermarket V-band systems without modification.

Professional installers, turbocharged vehicle builders, and shop technicians benefit most from maintaining spare fastener sets on hand, minimizing installation delays when original hardware exhibits stripping, corrosion, or thread damage. Installation is straightforward: simply hand-tighten the T-bolt into the V-band clamp pocket, add the locknut, and torque to secure the band halves together. This replacement kit is particularly valuable for high-mileage systems or seasonal applications where repeated disassembly and reassembly naturally wear fasteners. Compact and lightweight at 0.08 lbs, the kit stores easily in any service technician's toolkit or engine bay emergency kit.
