Don’t take my word for it, but as I recall the HRC clamps don’t have a whole lot in the way of material to spare in the clamp loops.

I mean we’re talking 54 to 55 millimeters so it’d be 0.5” on the radius.

Personally, I wouldn’t chance it but also the bottom clamp is usually under more load at any given time.

Maybe someone can give their $0.02 but I wouldn’t chance it unless it’s going to be a display piece.

Yes… i think the same, material is really really calculated… i have started the topic for this reason… i’m a mechanic and at the same time i had think that 0.5mm in the radius is really not so much…
