Exhaust Headers fixing / fittings ~ bolts wanted

Posts : Join date : Age : I have fitted my Termi, complete with U connector pipe to the 2 downpipes.
My problem is that the bracket supplied has no fixings / bolts(?).
Look as if it should be a pair of steel bars, one threaded with a bolt running through, akin to other exhaust fixings I’ve seen.
see below photo…

Posts : Join date : Age : Pete, on closer look this part appears not to be a Termignoni clamp. I believe the U-connector mid pipe is part of the oe system.
The Ipothesys pipe that I’ve removed had its own integral mid-pipe, which connects to the headers with a pair of separate clamps. As seen below…

As Pete said earlier, no separate parts available. Fingers crossed that a search by previous owner proves successful.
Measure at 57.5mm diameter, so I’ve ordered a pair of Mikalor stainless clamps for £7 …CopperSlip will be used
