Here is my final update, after putting things aside for a while. I sanded the pipe, inside and out, cut off a 25mm spacer, cut a slot in it, and put (high-temperature) RTV rubber in the resulting gap.
The 1/8" flat brackets needed washers:
The mufflers came out pretty even:
They look good:
The mounting is as solid as OEM, and the sound is surprisingly strong. If I ever run into a nice set of original V50 mufflers I can install them easily since I didn't modify the bike at all.
Thanks to all with suggestions, even of using aluminum foil. I've done that too.
Tkelly:
Looking good just in time for Stagecoach trail ride tomorrow.

Holy flashback batman............. ... I remember doing this back in High School to get a set of glasspacks to fit on my Skylark. I seem to remember cans being thicker back in the late 70's.
But I think one of the variable diameter reducers is the way to go.
