Hi all and thanks for your replies.

I got their details from this forum:

By the way experts, is there any kind of sealing tape or some such applied when pipes 1 and 3 (or is that 2 and 4?) are fitted back into the collector box before the clamps are tightened up around their joints?

Ta, D.

Honda (DSS at least) still do the metal/composite? tubular packing items that seal pipes 1 and 3 in the collector .
Part no. 18391-375-000.

Nice one Clem, thanks, D.

As promised, here they are in situ (a satisfying note upon which to end my weekend's garage work... albeit they will probably blow when (and if) I get this baby running again).

Just to add to Drew's choice of chromer, I have also used Chromefix on several of my full restorations, they will also re chrome two stroke exhausts.

Classics and Chrome in Hinckley, Leics (http://www.classicsandchrome.co.uk/) have been recommended by
AshimotoK0 elsewhere on these forums. I have a rack with them for plating at the moment - it helps that they
are local to me. They show a BSA Bantam exhaust in the gallery on their web site so can obviously cope with
exhaust systems. May be worth a look.

Thanks Bitsa and all,

I'm looking forward to one day warming them up (from the inside) and seeing if and and how much blow I get... that's leaking exhaust gasses not a celebratory substance!
