First Time Poster, Long time civic owner...

I have a 2000 Civic EX that recently developed a rattle that I narrowed down to the Cat Converter heat shield. It rusted through around the bolt in both front locations. See pictures. Both rear locations are fine. I was thinking about trying to get a band clamp around the front of the top and bottom heat shields and tightening down, hoping the rear locations hold but they look like they'll eventually (sooner than later) rust through as well. Does anybody know where I could pick up these heat shields? They certainly don't look tough to install.


Thanks.
