Can't  find any details on how the exhaust is sealed to the cylinder , am I missing a fined collar?

Thanks

I would expect it to be a simple press fit without collar

Thanks
The exhaust is 1 1/2 ins the port is very slightly larger, no pictures I have viewed show any collar.

I am going to seal it with heat resistant exhaust sealer that hopefully will withstand the vibrations the brackets hold the system very securely.

Thanks again.

Yes, I've always used high temp silicone sealant for the head-pipe joint to good effect.

I can confirm the B2 exhaust pipe is a push fit in the cylinder head, and is held in place by the clamp further down the pipe. I used Gun Gum to seal it, and it's worked well. If it's very loose, you could make up a spacer sleeve. The B2 didn't have a finned heat sink fitted, but you could fit one to reduce blueing of the chrome, and for appearance.
