I found a new one on Ebay, but someone outbid me and besides I really did not want to spend over 100 Euro for a piece of metal. I went to the hardware store and spent 10 dollars and thought I would try to drum up something for which the results are below. I used existing bolts that were elsewhere under the hood rather than mount on the exhaust bolts for which I figured may reduce stress to the manifold and vibration to the shield....we will see. I havent buttoned up everything yet as I am still in the middle of changing out my shocks. Another weekend project but this time going unusually smooth.
