Hi all,
I'm looking for a clamp of some description to bolt my cage to my roll hoop. The roll hoop is nicely painted so I don't really want to go
welding to that but my cage is still under construction, I need something similar to a glorified U bolt or similar - any suggestions welcomed 
Put( split pipe clamp in google ) There you go.
I'd quite like something like this:

but it seems to be a company over the pond that supplies them - anybody ever seen a uk supplier of parts like this?
Depends how heavy duty you need and what you want it for, bit also try LIGHTING CLAMP 52mm
Not sure if this is what you mean but I used bolt on 3 piece bike frame clamps on my roll cage.

The come in various sizes usually from an inch going up in qtrs to 2.5 inch so fits most roll cage diameters and come in black or chrome. They are
not bad to look at either when fitted and won't detract from your cage. I put 2 on my cage as the eyelet hole lines up perfectly with the seat
belt hole in the car so I'm using them to add some rigidity further up the cage and to secure my seat belt eyelets.

Whatever you use, makes sure it's up to the job! 
Personally, I'd weld it and make good the area of the weld!
