Default where to buy Slip joint exhaust clamps?

I have a slip joint exhaust that seems to blow no matter what I do, I have found what looks like a good 3inch clamp on the bellow link but can only find them in the USA and they are 12USD each with 95USD postage

Does anyone know any sellers in the UK or any alternatives? Any help appreciated.

Not the same type of clamp, but have you tried something like this:
NORMA - STAINLESS PIPE CLAMP (79-85MM) - GBS-82/25

That shipping is excessive. I have frequently had stuff from the US. Try calling them and ask about shipping by US Mail. That should be lots cheaper.

Smear 3 bond on joint when putting it together.
The clamp should be no wider than the slit on the joint.
I've got a 3" revolution systems and the supplied clamps were pretty useless leak-wise. Mikalor types have been better.
