OK, cool.
Buy it online or what ? 
Never seen any. 

Well you can't use plastic wire ties on exhaust parts.

But you could use heavy duty wire - but how mousey.
At least on top bracket bolted on right, 
And it looks good, works good.

Scott,

You really ought to try Kroil!!!

I maintain that the best thing to do with the replacement tin is to not 
attach it at the exhaust.  Bolt it to the crankcase and wire tie the 
exhaust end to something above.
