I was thinking of cutting it in half but then there would be a gap. I didn't even think about shaving about a 1mm from the inside, I shall try that.

So I shaved down the side and it went on easier. But then it the brituro silencer wouldn't fit on, so I shaved the outside down and it still wont fit on. When applying some pressure the gasket just starts to crump up.

I guess I'll have to find a thinner gasket or a roll or a different material.

Dolomite_:
So I shaved it down and ended up using a grinder to shave it down further because of the metal wires inside the graphite gasket but it just falls apart once you try to push it on.

It would either fit in the silencer and then not onto the collector box or visa versa.

I might need to make my own gasket out of something. Has anyone used other exhaust gasket materials?

You could try Hi Level for a collector box seal, they list various sizes on their website here:-

Although they normally only supply the trade, so you may have to order via your local bike shop.



Hope this helps.
