I have a basement fiberglass shower unit probably installed in the mid 1970's.  The drain pipe is 2" I.D. ABS which extends up into a 3" I.D. bronze / brass fitting in the pan of the shower.  The ABS pipe ends flush with the fitting in the pan.  The approximate 1/4" gap between these had been packed with oakum, with no other apparent sealant.  The drain now leaks. I have some concern about minor flexing of the shower floor causing movement between the ABS and bronze / brass.  What is the best way to fix this seal?
