Description
Overview:
This muffler clamp is a genuine Briggs & Stratton part for Vanguard 18 hp (approx. 13.4 kW) engines.

It is suited to construction and garden machinery powered by Vanguard engines, including those used on equipment from brands such as Belle. Designed for reliability in demanding environments, it supports correct exhaust alignment and helps prevent premature wear or cracking of the exhaust. Compatible with specific Vanguard engine codes such as 305440-3052-G1 and 305442-0527-F1, this clamp is a practical choice for routine maintenance and repairs where a solid, heat-resistant fixing is required.
