My 4 pipe Delkevic  exhaust came with new collets and clamps.

If you leave out the collets does number 2 pipe fit?

If you post the depth of your collett I'll check my original ones for comparison plus I have a set of SS ones via NJ that I did not use.

Thanks to Ken,Gareth & Ted

Thank you for your suggestions will give them all a go it just seems that the N02 is giving me the trouble the others seem to kinda fit if only on a few threads. I will have a look in the bin to see if I got the old gaskets as they might just give me the couple of threads I need .

I did think of shorting the N0 2 collet by 5mm to see if I could get a better fit All my old collets are all different DIA wise (If that makes sense) but the lengths are all the same. Obversely the 4-1 system was not a straight fit either for the previous owners Just wish I had numbered the collets to which cylinder they came off of.

I will have another go to day and see keep you all posted to how I get on .................
