Is this a sleeved joint or a v-band?

If it's a sleeved joint mikalor clamps work well can pick them up on eBay, they cover a size range so make sure it covers 80mm

If it's a v-band then it should have been supplied with a special clamp designed to close over both flanges as on my 3" v-band

Looks like they just sleeve over each other. Mikalor clamp will for the job, make sure it covers 80mm and you should be fine
