Exhaust connecting plate clamp

Hey, I have a 2009 2.5si roadster, recently purchased and the exhaust clamp on the underside of the car is really corroded. I need to change the exhaust clamps/hangers but cannot find them anywhere as they don't seem like a usual hanger. They are bolted through a weird twisted connecting plate (part number 1820 7586704) but I cannot find the clamps that bolt to this anywhere at all. They are on the exhaust located pretty much just behind the driver seat if you like under the car, can anyone help at all??????????
 
You need to heat up those old rusty studs and knock them out. Not a nice job.
Then just nut and bolt them instead.
 
Yeah I looked at removing the studs and nut and bolting but they are corroded pretty good which is why I want a back up couple of brackets as a fail safe
 
One of the worst jobs to do on a Z4, take a look at my old thread on how I replaced mine here

One of our resident Z4 Breakers may well have a replacement bracket if you ask on here.
Mine had two upper and lower tie plates, had another Z4 in the shed yesterday, his studs and nuts were rusted away and it only had the top tie plate on it, lower one MIA. Suggest you have a pair of gaskets to hand when you tackle this job and wish you luck.
