Help with fitting exhaust

removed my old rotten exhaust today because I have bought a standard exhaust in good condition.
its a 89 235i with the 2 pipes.
What I am missing is the fitting kit which goes around the rear silencer/back box.. from pics they look like big jubilee clips which go all the way around the silencer and onto the rubber mounts.
I have the mounts but no clamps!
Also need the gasket which goes on the exhaust (in-between exhaust and manifold)
I also need the rubber mount which goes onto the centre hanger, as my one is perished.
Can anyone help?

should be able to get manifold gasket and rubber mount off ebay or a parts shop,
not sure about clamps might be able to get some from parts shop as well, or on here

Hi Ryan, your best bet would be to get these bit new, try somewhere like euro car parts, or gsf. I think I have even got them from BMW in the past they are not too expensive.

I got a load of all the necessary parts (and some I probably won't need but wanted to cover all possibilities) inc gaskets, new nuts/bolts, rubber mounts etc, from the dealers last week. £43 in total.

£53 !!
I only need the straps, I have the rubber mounts which are in good condition.
The straps are completely missing from my car, so that's the bit im not sure on as I dont really know what they look like.
The gasket and middle section mount shouldnt be too much of a problem to get, its just these strap parts on the rear box!

I know it says they're for a 318, but they might do?

Could anyone confirm that what grantfk10 posted are the correct parts I need?
