Exhaust heat shield - hardware (R1150GS)

[rustychain]

The nut on my exhaust clamp heat shield has sheared off.

I can buy an exhaust clamp on eBay (see below) and use the hardware but would prefer to just by the hardware if possible.

eBay link

Any suggestions on where I can get replacement hardware please?

Thanks

Just adding some photos to clarify what I'm looking for.

What’s wrong with the item in your eBay link.?

It’s the best place I can think of for sourcing the parts you need.

Plus It’s cheaper than a standard BMW clamp part No 18117653274. The fixings are not available separately because the special shaped bolt is pressed into the clamp. But it can be pressed out,

All you need are the fixings which should be easy enough to remove from the clamp. Plus it’s stainless steel so the parts won’t rot.

Well, maybe he wants the original BMW part then I would source from the likes like Motorworks or James Sherlock..
Can’t be that expensive…will have a look if I got a spare, would let you know…

Having revisited the eBay site and had a look at the clamps in detail, i need to correct my earlier post.

it looks to me that the clamp is stainless steel, but the hardware is not.

The bolt head has 10.9 stamped on it which is usually the tensile strength. Which I believe is stronger than stainless steel can achieve so my conclusion is a steel alloy, which will likely corrode just like the originals.

They’re probably the same clamps that BMW use, but a lot cheaper……

Nothing with it, I was just exploring if I could buy the parts

Thanks Albatross - I did look on realoem and then Motorworks. The 'silencer clamp and heat shield' is a single item - no separate bolt/nut option listed. I'll try giving MW a ring tomorrow,

If you happen to have any spares lying about that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Ian - useful to know they might not be stainless steel. I'll drop the seller a message to check.
