In picture attached you'll see I have a banjo bolt head making some nasty contact with my #3 exhaust runner. How much gap should there be here? I could maybe turn the runner slightly but I don't think I am going to get too far due to the collector. Seems like a gap is the right answer through vs some kind of other buffer that's going to wear through quickly. My rear wing upright/exhaust support tubing is not 100% square so that could have my entire exhaust a little lower than it should be. But probably not enough to help this clearance issue.

Hi Walter (@walteriv), what chassis number is your car?  Is it a newer car or an older one?  Another member with a new car had a similar issue and here is the post about it.  In this post Rod gave some great advice,

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com #852. Looks like a good loosening and re-orientation is in order based on that other thread. I will give it a try and see how much clearance I can make.
