Interesting...
I got an invoice today too.

When I ordered mine, I was 1 day late since they had in stock the day before, and it got sold when I placed my order.
Wonder how many they get in each shipping since we both place on same date.

It appears that Boeing Dist/Dallas ordered 400pcs of V-Band clamps #670105 and there are still 188pcs on back order from Continental. And in this delivery they got 50pcs. Not sure how many AirPower got.

Information from Packing Slip.

Just got an email from Air Power - my 670105 Clamp ordered 12/27/2024 shipped today. Their website currently shows 3 in stock. @Ragsf15e

Thank you @Z W...called in today. "Yes we do have that part and your order from Oct should have been shipped out but hasn't." - $!$@! 

I would urge folks on the list to call, great order handling setup...NOT. However, on the flip side, their customer service folks are very nice.

Ha! I called and talked to Tina in parts. She told me they hadn’t gotten any yet and still expect them in June!  Hopefully you guys actually get them! She said she checked like three different places in their inventory software??  Who knows?  I’m gonna try back in a couple days.

Just got the FedEx notification for the clamp from AirPower. I spoke to Rhonda this morning, apparently whatever she looked at was more accurate than what Tina looked at. Or it was all accounted for by the time you called @Ragsf15e.

Nice to hear that they are slowly sending them out.

I must have been lucky to got mine from them.

This is apparently what a $850 exhaust clamp looks like. Posting because when trying to figure out if I had a riveted clamp or not, I never was able to find a picture of one for my part number, though it was pretty obvious mine was spot welded once I got the cowling off and figured out where it was.

At least it's a nice looking clamp and comes in a nice box...

I hope you all get yours soon.

interesting that your new “Rev A” is changed from spot welds to rivets.

The spot welded clamp part number for the TSIO-360-MB was 653337. It is now superseded by this new riveted clamp, 670105, in the Continental parts catalog. 

I tried to buy a new 653337 and they were also unavailable anywhere. I even put in an order on Air Power for one and they emailed and said it was discontinued and they weren't going to sell them any more and never charged me for it.

This is what my old spot-welded V-band clamp looks like, for reference.
