Default Need engine help!!

Alright, I have an OLD....and let me put emphasis on the OLD part.... OS 45 that I am running on a Great Planes Big Stick. Surprising the motor screams and runs great. Or well it did. This past weekend while flying it, the engine vibration broke both the ears off the muffler where it bolts to the engine. Now I am looking to buy a replacement muffler and cant find one. I looked on the OS website under discontinued engines and it isn't listed there.....I have a 46 FX that we tried to mount the muffler from for size and it didn't fit (to wide) and the 40FP muffler lists as fitting 30 -40 engines. HELP!! I did consider a Mac's muffler for it, but due to the clearance to the firewall i would have to carve out the firewall a bit to make it fit, and just not wanting to put that much work into a silly Big Stick. Anyone know of a inexpensive muffler that would fit on this old OS 45, and where to get one at???? Thanks, and HAPPY FLYing!!!
