Ira,
I use about a half inch from the banjo bolt to the muffler, primarily to
give clearance for the clamp and of course the silver heat shielding to
protect the oil line. I have run as little as 1/4 of an inch from the
muffler heat shield to the clamp which went around the heat sleeve
material over the oil line and clamp.
Check also the engine hasn't started to sag a little, as the mounting
bolt spacers may need to be adjusted to get the engine back to level so
the muffler will clear the cowl / ducting.
The joys of aircraft ownership.

I just hung a brand new exhaust system on my 912ULS and find the
banjo bolt is closer to the muffler heat shield than previously.
It could just be an optical illusion with all that bright shiny metal
there
for the first time in a long time. I've lengthened the down pipe of
number 1 cylinder a fair bit with the slide.
Does anyone know the reasonable minimal distance between shield
and bolt?
Thanks,
