Sound proofing (under exhaust) etc

My new 75 has had a clutch done recently and all the wound proofing under there has gone I suspect it was taken off then.

It is a 75 diesel saloon and looking for all the silver sound proofing that fits around the exhaust etc. As good a condition as possible please.

Not actually sound proofing, it's supposed to be heat shielding - picks up the radiated heat from the exhaust system and dissipates it away from the floor pan….! Often fractures around the fastenings and then rattles against the exhaust, I believe SS pot repair washers make a good fix. Original shields are still available from Rimmers, must get a rear one soon as the noise is driving me nuts and attracting too much attention.
