"I have abandoned them and not had any issues in this area with heat "
This is from the owner of a car which caught fire isn't it?

I too have gone through at least 2 sets of heat shields on the catalysts on my +8 They failed due to the shiels being held on by 2 bolts on the single strap. A better solution would have been 2 straps. I have abandoned them and not had any issues in this area with heat affecting the paintwork. The last pair of shields cost me around £60, or was it £60 each, I can't remember. There are other heat shields available which could be fabricated much more economically, but if you are pursuing originality.........

Seems like a design fault. Speaking of catalysts my car is in dire need of a "standard cat" (ie not a sports special) , I think this is a 400 cell as OEM. Does anyone know of any sources of such items please, the MMC charge is now in excess of £600 apiece and I would rather find something a little more reasonable , even used items considered.

Check the strap carefully as I've repaired one and replaced the other on mine (and made a replacement for someone else - all on 2000MY cars).

It's wrapped round the cat and held on by a bolted band. The position it is in doesn't seem to be correct to me. I'd appreciate someone having a look at there's and letting me know how there's is set up.
