Default Heat Shield Speed Nuts - McMaster?

Does anyone know offhand which speed/clip-on nuts from McMaster are the correct type/fit for the cat heat shields? Or is there a better source out there?

I need to replace all of mine, but not too enthused about $6/ea for the Porsche part.

RicardoD - that was good advice... (and a great write up)
We sell u-nuts by the 10,000's... When I needed some I went to Napa and paid 20x my cost. They fit perfectly and I had the right part picked out in 30 seconds. Much easier than staring at a chart.

In 14 years I have never been asked to quote a stainless u-nut. Auto makers put ever complex platings on them to reduce corrosion rather than yield to the cost of stainless.

Seems like something must exist, maybe in the marine realm. I've looked and come up scoreless though.
