Description
The Mishimoto Constant Tension T-Bolt Clamp (MMCLAMP-3TGD) is a stainless steel, gold-finished T-bolt clamp built to fit hoses and couplers with an outer diameter of 2.87″-3.19″ (73mm-81mm). Unlike a standard T-bolt clamp, this version integrates a steel spring on the adjustment bolt that lets the clamp expand and contract as temperatures swing, so clamping pressure stays constant instead of loosening off after heat cycling.
As part of the Mishimoto Fabrication lineup, this constant tension T-bolt clamp is designed for builders who need dependable, high-force clamping on hoses and couplers that see repeated thermal cycling and vibration. The included self-locking nut resists loosening from engine bay movement, while the premium-grade stainless steel construction is built to resist corrosion longer than typical zinc-plated clamps. The optional titanium nitride gold coating adds a distinctive look to any engine bay while remaining wear-resistant. Each clamp is sold individually and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal-fit clamp rather than a vehicle-specific part: it is intended for any hose or coupler with an outer diameter between 2.87″ and 3.19″ (73mm-81mm), making it suitable for a wide range of fabrication, piping, and hose-clamping projects across different vehicles and builds. Mishimoto also recommends pairing this clamp with its MMICP-SS series silicone couplers for a complete, matched clamping setup.
