I'm here. I bolted from underneath and remember the squeeze past the heatshield in its little void. It is possible with it in situ but I believe it is rivetted on should you need to remove it.

i actuallly solved it without removing it i drilled through it with a 10 mm bit then used a dremmel with sander attachment and made the hole big enough to fit the bolt through. you can reach each nut with a long spanner afterwards
once done i used some reflective heat tape (same as used around flues and roofs)
job done
