You can then use an enlarged washer if the heatshield has rusted away,, making sure to coat it with grease or another suitable rust preventative after securing the heatshield in place. I would advice using a nyloc nut on the stud for added security. It's a cheap and easy fix that should last for years if done correctly.

Thanks Dancake, sounds like a great idea. This v tech rapid steel putty from
ECP should do the trick. Will let you know how I get on.
