I used teflon tape just like MrGrn said. It is very thin so I wrapped it round about 4 times before it made a difference - this seems to have worked just fine. It made a nice seal and there're no adverse effects that I can detect.

For the record though, the overall majority opinion from people I've asked was the aluminium beer can solution. I was quite keen to do it but failed to get a consensus of which beer was best for this year Supersport, so I opted for the teflon tape.

Thanks guys.
