So I had a 180 L tank with two 45mm (1.75in) holes for the overflow box outtakes.
I upgraded to a 343 L tank and the person who cut the holes made them 51mm (2in) despite me giving him the overflow box to use as a measurement.
I have two bulkheads from the old tank, 32mm (approx 1 1/4in) inside diameter, 40mm (approx 1 1/2in) outside diameter plus rubber gaskets, measurements below.
What is the best way of getting this stuff to fit together now?

Approximate measurements are (diameter):
Tank holes - 51mm
Overflow box holes - 45mm
Pipes outside diameter - 40mm
Pipes inside diameter - 32mm
Small gasket inside: 40mm
Small gasket outside: ~54mm
Large gasket inside: 40mm
Large gasket outside: ~60mm
Silicone? Replacement gaskets? Replacement bulkheads? If so, what sizes - I am useless at this kind of thing :/
Thanks!
Katy.
