Anyone got any tips on sealing the exhaust at the barrel ? my 210 has a scorpion that is just held on with springs and hence it moves about a bit ,i tried some gum when i refitted it but that didn't work and now the engine is covered in oily gunk .Is there anything out there i can use ?

Sip in Germany do some sleeves to fit between stub and exhaust, still not ideal but closes the gap, made from beer tin by the look of them , so have a tinny then cut it up to size :)
