I have just fitted a new backbox to a mk2 1.1 and i cant get it to stop blowing. I dont no wether its the clamp as ive tried 2 so far but they dont hold the 2 pipes al the way round if you get what i mean so it blows out the 2 gaps in the clamp.
Does anybody no were i can get a clamp that fits all afound the pipe and will clamp closed all the way around.
Any help will be much appricated as i need to get this sorted asap
Cheers

I've allways had the same problem, i can allways feel a little air, try a little bit of exhaust paste round it.

would the heat not just melt a hole through?

Quite possibly :zainy: In all seriousness, I've never managed to sort out the backbox on my Punto... tried a couple of clamps, paste etc and it still blows a bit...

would high temp silican seal the joint up or would it just come away with the back box not sitting right?
