Sportex backbox

[Dave-B]

Fitted a sportex 3" back box on my 1.1 forte and at first it had about 3cm gap betwheen the tail pipe and the bumper but now its touching.
The clamp round the backbox to center pipe doesnt grip it very well and i think thats why it keeps moving back

Any one else had this problem?
