Default WYE100350 - exhaust joining clamp

Does anyone know the internal diameter of the exhaust clamp p/n WYE100350 (part 14 here - http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001940)? Is it 50mm or 55mm?

I want to join a new rear silencer (part 10 above) to the existing pipe (minus the old box) but don't fancy paying £42.25 for a pesky clamp - I thought I'd try and use one of these instead: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr..._ipg=200&rt=nc

If WYE100350 is 55mm internal diameter, maybe this one would do the trick?

These are very good clamps, I used the smaller size (don't remember the actual size) on my Audi 80 when I needed to replace the centre box.
The trick is to use a good quality exhaust assembly paste.

The in-pipe for my replacement 75 Tourer rear box is belled out to receive the old centre pipe, slip fit?

This one works - a tight fit but it just about goes on if the squeeze clamps are taken off first.
