Why not use a large stainless steel hose clamp instead?  I have used these
from Home Depot and they seem to work well/hold up well.  Just FYI.

Thanks,

Subject: WTB muffler strap for 85 1.9L

I am in need of the muffler strap for my 85 Vanagon 1.9L.  Bus Depot no
longer has them.  The four VW dealerships in Minneapolis/St. Paul don't have
one sitting on the shelf.  VW isn't making them anymore.  I know I could
make something work, but I'd like to find one, preferably a new one, but a
clean original one.  Does Napa or one of the FLAPS have a reproduction out
yet?

New exhaust system waiting for me to find the time to put it on.  And one
stinking piece of bend sheet metal.
