Mine  came to me with a big hoseclamp on there, i've never had the
opportunity to  use "the strap". The problem is though, there is soo little
material left  on my "retainer" that the hose clamp is quite literally, going
to come  through at any time. These things REALLY rust.
I see Frank Condelli has  them listed on his website.....but no price.
Stainless Steel anyone?  There's a market for it........

Yes,  it's listed with no price as the new company, LEV-FAB, I'm dealing with
to  manufacture the Stainless Exhaust system components for me is going to
design  and make an all new bracket to replace the 1.9 OEM bracket and strap
assembly that is NLA.  It will be made to work on the 1.9 OEM style  mufflers
and the new Stainless Steel mufflers they are making for  me.  When it's ready
for sale you all will know about it.
