We get a hmt discount at racing solutions? I just ordered 250 dollars worth of stuff including 2 3" v-bands. so when I get them welded they need to be clamped together?

Its best to clamp them down yes, we've welded them without before but if you do you must make sure you stitch them and go slow to keep the heat down.

If you call them, the shipping is less.

And order from them because you can also order an ***------- load more from them at the same time. Unlike McM which historically overprices almost every thing they sell, plus last time I checked. RcR sponsors on a dozen forums I'm on. I'd rather them get the money.
When was the last time McM forked over probably a grand+ a month in sponsorships to car forums eh? They don't...

I don't care who they sponsor and of course McMaster wont sponse CAR forums, hell i dont think they intend to seel anything to car people to begin with. I didn't have to order an ***------- load of other stuff or maybe RcR would have been a viable option. I needed 1 3in V-Band setup, and what I got for a good price was a high quality piece that works. I will have to say McMaster is not overpriced and I've shown this before their prices are spot on with Ace Stainless for weld-els and as you can see damn close if not cheaper then RcR for a single v-band setup. Plus you cant beat their shipping prices either. Hell they shipped me 3ft of 2in sc40 steel pipe for $4 and I got it next day.

We can fit up to 10 sets of vbands in a USPS flate rate box for $9.50 priority anywhere in the US. Our store does not support automated shipping calculator with USPS though, so if you want USPS you have to call in the order.
