Well I've given up 
I took out the bolt on the cat pipe, took the old gasket out, put the new one on the end of that goes into the cat pipe and spread a load of copper slip over both.
Unfortunately I still couldn't get them to line up properly and the edge of the gasket caught against the end of the cat pipe and despite trying to push it under with a thin blade screwdriver or press it down to give more space, I couldn't get it to work and now this gasket is on the way to getting buggered too.
I'm going to need the bike working next Friday, so I'm going to take it into the workshop to get them to fix it or, at least, do another temporary fix with exhaust bandage again to make it properly rideable.
