Rear exhaust heat shield photo?

Does anyone have a photograph of the exhaust back box heat shield? Ideally for a 944 s2 but I think the 220bhp turbo and 968 have the same part.
I need to see the detail of the support bracket that is on the rearmost section - mine has all but dissolved due to rust and I need to see what I need to recreate as the rest of the shield in in surprisingly good shape other than some very minor pin-holes.

The illustration on PET - part no. 944 503 137 00, doesn't show this bracket at all and I've never seen that part come up for sale used and as I'm sure you all know its is an NLA item. I've checked the photos I have on my phone & this bracket is spot welded to the heatshield. There is a single captive nut welded to this bracket and the machine screw that was in there I had to drill off the head as it had rusted solid and in trying to undo it, the paper thin rusted away metal has twisted all out of shape hence the need for the photo as I have no real idea of what the piece looks like in good condition!

My thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
 
I was lucky to pick one up from a german based car dismantler on ebay a while back that was in excellent condition, I think one of the guys managed to get a decent one from Steve Strange.

Not sure what you mean about a bracket though, there is a bracket which is welded to the body of the car and supports the shield and exhaust. Mine was very rusty so I had it replaced along with a patch which was needed to the rear valance directly above the tail pipe.

Picture of the shield and bracket below.

This is great- thank you(y)
The first picture shows the bracket in use and the very last photo, that has the writing on the heat shield also shows the welded bracket too. This should be sufficient to make something passable to do the job! The rest of my heatshield is in quite good shape apart from this bracket.
