Yep, I am pretty sure he has some.  I just got a ST .46 strap on muffler from him.

One can always drob by a Dollar store or if none available go to any hardware. I forget the name but they come in many sizes. It is a steel band that tightens with a worm screw.
Make a couple cuts, (saw, file, or dremel type tool) may even have to drill a hole or two, and you can adjust it so the worm screw is on the side or the back opposite to the muffler. I have been using them for years and probably at least a dozen airplanes use them.

They're called screw type hose clamps.
