Default Easy band clamp question?>?

Ok search is not working for me at all so don't even tell me to search or how to search. What size band clamps do I need to wrap around a set of pacesetter lt's and ory? I bought 3 inch and they appear to be to small? Should I just try harder>?...lol. Or do I need to get a 4 inch and then just tighten it up?

4inch will be way too big. 3" should be perfect, stop being such a wuss.

Yes. A 3" should back out to about a 3.5" when fully out. you can always get longer bolts if needed.

I got them pretty tight but didn't want to over do it and break the bolts.
