Exhaust packing
 
I need to replace the packing in my Scorpion can, and I was looking at the stuff on the daemon tweeks website but wasn't sure which one to get.

I did see some posts that you need to get the long fibre packing and not short weaves as it falls apart quicker but it seems there is alot of choice on the site. They say things like, performance packing and what the hell does that mean, lasts longer or is more for racing.

Are you at soho on friday?
I have a spare bag of fibre packing kicking about in the shed if you want to try it.
I tried to use the "blanket" type stuff and never got on with it in the past.

I wondered what the differences are, I used 2 stroke packing in mine and its doing its job nicely.

Nope not going to be there this week as I'm on-call, if you let me know where you got it from I'll get some ordered as I need to get the rivets and bands ordered anyway.

Thanks for the offer though.

The woven blanket stuff is the best IMO. The loose blanket stuff is rubbish and doesn't last long at all.

Beowulf will sell you some decent stuff.

a scorpion can shouldnt need repacking, they come with a lifetime warranty. when i brought my scorp can from the NEC the guy told me there was no need.
