Thanks, but it's the metal ring seals that fit between the silencer and tail pipes I need.

These:

TCB Performance Parts.

Look them up and call them on phone.  Emails can take a while...

Aren't these the ones that could be replaced with Volvo or Ford rings? 
I got a couple when I took mine off I believe. Could be wrong.

Thanks Shnazzle, the inner diameter is about 4mm under size but I guess they'll do if I can't find an alternative.

OK, thanks for all the replies. I have ordered two lots of seals, a pair of Klarius FDG3 which say they are 54mm, (but rather un-helpfully not whether that's internal or external), and a pair of the Volvo 240 type. I'll use whichever are the best fit. I would never have guessed that a couple of exhaust seals could be so bloody problematic!! The Toyota dealer was useless, they'd never even heard of a TTE, or optional sports exhaust!

Bit of an update, the Klarius FDG3 seals are 54mm outer diameter so no good.

ECP clamps are OK but Volvo gasket is too big - my own experience back here - https://www.mr2roc.org/index.php?topic=60924.msg724679#msg724679

Not all Audi/Volvo gaskets are cross compatible. Sorry to send you on another thread, I can't find a post of my own about it, but this has more detail https://www.mr2roc.org/index.php?topic=29619.msg452193#msg452193

From old emails it looks like CEG112 is what I used as was purchased online. Whereas I remember buying some from ECP that didn't fit

Thanks for that mate, much appreciated. I have now ordered 3 different types to compare and will report back later.

Gah. And I was just talking about this last week.
I've just fitted some too in the last few days.

Gasket

Clamp
https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/712745101

These are definitely the ones!

Thanks. They are among the ones I've ordered so it' reassuring that at least those will work.

Ok, so, all back together looking and sounding great!

These are the two types of seal that work perfectly. The RD1266118A was supplied in place of 700660050, and the CEG112 seems to be identical to it. I actually used the CEG112 and it fits perfectly. Job done at last!
