Steve have you a clicky link for the stuff,John

Hi John, the product I went for after searching ebay for what sounded the best, and the best price of course, is - ABRO - RTV - clear high temp' silicone sealant - in an 85 gram tube. £4.49 with freepost. Item number 284055029700. Of course I won't know how good it is until I've used it, but rest assured if it doesn't work someone in Wombwell will be getting an invoice in the post
HTH

Don't forget the labour charge

Best not push it Kev, if I know him he's probably already got his legal team (his missus Lynn, to save money ) preparing a case against me for defamation of his good character

I'm hoping it works as suggested on the small leak on my exhaust, but what's left won't be wasted (phew) as it has other uses on the bikes, ie, engine gasket sealant and an inspection cover on the Enfield that has to be sealed after setting the tappets

A few years ago I did a temporary repair on the bottom seam on my right hand top pipe using Araldite - the temporary job lasted for twelve years until it was welded up when I had the system rechromed - so I'd plum for - i
Araldite - its also lasted for years on a small puncture hole on the Gt185 silencer

Hi Steve, what about a competent welder. Surely someone could put a spot of weld or braize on,to close the hole, without damaging the exhaust. Have seen it done many a time to old British bikes when the exhausts become unobtainable.

When this leak first appeared I attempted to seal it using a two part metal repair product called "Wagners Epoxy-A-Leak". It came highly recommended by my brother, who's in the refrigeration industry, needless to say it didn't work and I've tried other products too which have also failed, so fingers crossed for Alans suggestion.

Hi John, if Alans suggestion doesn't work I'll look into the possibility of getting it brazed, after I've sued him for wasting my time of course

There's some in B&Q at 11 quid odd, but apparently does up to 1100 degrees C. Bit dear for you lot though, it seems.
That's the type of stuff we used to use on the incinerators and cremators when I was a working bloke (been retired 5.5 years now - where's the time go when you're having fun, eh? I did retire 8 months early mind, I'd had enough of all the health & safety paperwork crap!)
Of course as consultant to the mentally retarded Dimbo from Grimbo, I bear no responsibility for the recommendations as t'was a suggestion, not an instruction.
Same goes for anyone else......... I do know a couple of girly types called 'Sue' though, lovely ladies they are.
The other stuff his brother told him to use was "Wagners Epoxy-A-Leak" according to the earlier post.
Well, 'exhaust' starts with 'e' , so that why it didn't work - he should've shoved it up his 'bottom' obviously, turned into a balloon and changed his name from farty warty........

Are you related to Professor Stanley Unwin by any chance? Or, seeing as you've mentioned "bottoms", could it be you're afflicted with verbal diarrhea?

Agbrigg's will strip the chrome so you can get it welded, then re-chrome once it's done.

Tried getting in touch with Agbriggs for a quote but their website keeps crashing, then Alan H rang me to recommend using clear high temp silicone sealant, so I've ordered a tube off ebay.
If it works I've saved a small fortune, but if it doesn't that's £4.75 he owes me
Another suggestion was to ask Delkevic if they'll sell a single pipe, worth considering

He quoted me £350 to rechrome one exhaust!! says he does them all the time
