Hello everybody! New to the forums, and need some C4 help.
So I just got a sweet barn find C4 Z52 for $2750. Been sitting for 12 years. It was owned by a union brother and I've been working on him for a couple years to sell it to me, as my middle name is Arkus I have always known I was destined to own several Vettes in my lifetime. I am currently saving for a mid engine C8. Should have the money by the time C10's hit the dealers. 
so this C4 I picked up is in fantastic shape. It just needs some TLC as it has been sitting awhile. But was well cared for. 100919 miles on her.
I am am having an issue that I'm hoping someone on here can help me with. The emission pipes, (14100852, 14082469) need replaced. Along with the check valve (22062561). I can find those parts pretty easily, the one issue that I'm having trouble finding is the clamp (14093102) that goes on the bottom of the check valve, passenger side that connects to the cat conv inlet tube. Any help would be much appreciated. I need to get this emissions crap repaired so I can drive this gorgeous beauty before the weather here in the PNW gets too shitty to thoroughly enjoy the car for what it was built for.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

OP - The reference number that Ecklers uses for that clamp isn't correct and I don't know that I'd be so quick to jump on the buy. The part# they use is for the EGR pipe on an '86 and I'd want to confirm all of the Ecklers information before buying.
I've never measured or compared the different diameters because I've had no need and no interest. There's maybe 3 I believe. I'm not so sure your part# choice is actually correct for yours.
The number Ecklers uses as a reference is mentioned in GM SPO publications as being 25mm
