I suspect the clamp is made for so called 1 1/2 inch water pipe, which
has an outer diameter of 1.900 inches. Some mast clamps are
deliberately made to fit either that pipe size or a true 2 inch mast.

For me is much better to bring this parts from United States with a
forwarder, just that don't know if this sizes are available in US
Not commonly as they're metric. In fact, however, although the
instructions list the boom - to - mast clamp saddle as "2 inch", it
turns out that is actually a British "2 inch" and is really only about
1.945" diameter as measured with a standard, regular, international-
measure (read: Chinese) micrometer. As a result, their "2 inch" clamp
saddle would NOT fit properly over my actual American 2 inch diameter
mast, which measured 1.9985" diameter. I would have had to file or grind
the stock clamp saddles to fit my American 2-inch-diameter mast.
Instead, and since this was only a temporary installation for now, I had
to leave off the U-bolt saddles.
You can try e-mailing DXE for help; they just might be able to, or
expedite the delivery of replacement parts to you; they just might have
an "in" with WiMo directly. Due to our tariffs and all the complications
those entail, however, it might be better to work directly with WiMo in
Germany.
