Tail Pipe Exhaust Shield

As I was getting ready to install a Trac Bar today I noticed that one shield over the exhaust where the exhaust tail pipes are is missing and on the one on other side is very loose.
Is there somewhere to order these up at a reasonable price or should I have a local shop bend some?

Were the shields mounted to the pipes or to the underside of the body ?
Stamped shields that mount to the pipes might only be available from Workhorse, but a call to your local muffler shop will tell for sure.
You may end up fabricating a body mounted shield or adapting one from a wrecker.

I don't have any info on the shields but I will look at mine next time I see my MH. What will the Trac bar do for the coach?

Skip426:
The shields mount to exhaust pipes with 3 metal screws. They may not even be needed or if needed I see two better alternatives with the first option being best and easiest IMO.
1. It might be better to just wrap the pipes with heat wrap. Nothing to rattle loose and better protection.
2. Protection of some sort could be stuck under the storage boxes where the exhaust comes out like reflective heat sheeting.

Graygulf:
If you have a long motorhome then you will often get a "tail wag" when passing semis or in winds because the leaf springs can't keep the chassis straight with the axle. A trac bar mounts from the rear differential to the frame to keep everything solid and straight.
