A pair of jubilee clips around the bottom of them works well also.

stopped the downpipe shields from rattling today only to discover that most of the rattling was coming from the lower exhaust manifold heat shield (n/s)it had cracked/corroded around the mounting holes and become completely detached.i have now removed it to stop the rattling but am now a bit concerned that some thing may get hotter than it should. it looks like a real pig to replace. :-/
