TVR Car Parts, not too much money. While were on the subject anybody got some tips for sealing the damn things, mine keep blowing?
Sure - all surfaces need to be as flat and rust free as possible - that includes the manifold ends .. with all old gasket removed - the collapseable spacers ultimately rust to nothing .. then fit the sealing ring with exhaust assembly putty .. have someone hold the exhaust and collar in the best position while you tighten the clamp - as it will all try to move spoiling the joint. Same for other side - then run engine until hot and leave to cool.That usually does it - it's easy really.

Adam, did the BLG1 or BLG10's provide the best fit/seal in the end?

One of the best mods I did to my old wedge was to weld a short length (3") of close fitting pipe, the pipe diameter should be a close fit inside the main exhaust pipes and you then clamp up on the flange.
went from constantly leaking and needing ponging up all the time, to not needing any ponge at all and never needed looking at it again.
