Exhaust heat Shield

[kemp596]

The exhaust heat shield over the back has come loose and is rattling around on too of the back box, Does anyone know what size nut is used to re attach the heat shield to the fixing studs ? Cheers

Adding to this post and having a look to the others on the opposite side I believe there like clips that you slot over the top and push up and it grip the stud. These are circular with star shape in centre so when you push up the star tips bite into the stud ..I recon??

No bolts. They are originally a two sided pressed metal fastener l, but they aren't easy to obtain. These will work fine.

I had to replace whole exhaust system recently, so I thought I would change the handbrake cables at the same time as these are hidden behind the heat shields. problem is these clips rust and cause a problem with the aluminium sheilding, you can order original clips if the shielding has not perished around the clip area.

Pardon our interruption...

If you find the area is rusted around the area where the clip fastens then you will need a repair kit to effectively repair the area,
