Re: exhaust Silicone/sealant anyone?
I've got some spare heat resistant sealant "Fire Putty" - brilliant for exhausts. I won't be coming to Soho tomorrow (I'm having CT scan done on my leg) but you are free to swing by mine and pick it up if you need it. Just drop me a PM and I'll give you my address.

Re: exhaust Silicone/sealant anyone?
Thats exactly what its meant for mate, yet if you ever take the clamp off you will find its all turned into a chalky, flaky mass thats just sitting there and not bonded to either surface. Like i say i expected it to be very good but i was very disappointed to say the least.

Re: exhaust Silicone/sealant anyone?
it some very small gaps (1-2mm) between sleeve and inlet that needs filling, so hope it works!
