Clean (wire wheel...), degrease, use sealant of choice.

I've always used firegum and never had a problem, as long as you don't go mental on the amount you put on - just whatever you do, don't put it together and then start it and rag it up the road, it'll still be wet and it'll just blow out the sides. Leave a few hours and then start and idle for 5 mins and it'll warm up enough, stop and leave for another few hours and it'll be fine.

The way I see it is that the flange isn't moving, once that paste is in there and it's set, it's not gonna get pushed out or anything. I've had some SERIOUSLY warped adapters that I've not even bothered flattening and sealed them fine with firegum. Long as it's set and you don't rag it up the road in the first 30 seconds, it'll be fine.

My biggest worry has been putting to much in and it squeezing out and posing as debris to hit the exhaust wheel.

Reassuring to read that tho. Unluckily she cant be driven afterwards anyway as the mots just ran out.

On the upside it shouldnt fail, all polybushed, coilovers and spherical top mounts are still spot on, arb links are fine. Brakes just been rebuilt with new pads, disks and cables and to top it off new window screen.

Only iffys are the decat which my tester allows and harnesses. Said he dosnt like them in a road car unless there spot on but was anal enough to buy that harness bar to make sure they were at the right angle and ive got eyelets in on load bearing plates so should be all good
