Jim,
As far as I know the muffler brackets(cradles) are NLA, so your only source is used.
The straps are still available NOS, but insanely expensive. I have seen after-market/home made/custom offered reasonably priced on Ebay.

 I posted last week asking if anyone had installed one of these (see link below) S&S mufflers a while back, and got 1 personal (good) reply. So Weds, I ordered the listed M-V86 muffler, and will report back when I have it installed.
Since this set up replaces everything past the cat this may be what you need also.

Here's the link to the S&S's 4cyl headers&muffler page:

http://www.ssheaders.com/4cylinder.htm#VW%20STREET%20HEADERS

then you can go to the "ONLINE STORE" link at S&S to see the photos.
