3.6 Heat Tube install question

[warpspd]

I just got one of Thom's carbon fiber heat tubes for my 3.6
conversion. It is a very nice piece but I have a question for
you guys that have done this. I have a 95 993 engine using
the factory aluminum heat tube above the cat. When I put
the heat tube in place I am about 3 inches to short. Is there
a factory piece that bolts to the rear engine tin to complete
the install? Here are a few pics

Yes, you can just make it out in this pic

I am going to try and get the part from the porsche dismantler that I bought the engine from but I figure that I am going to have to buy it from somewhere or fab something up?

Anyone got any ideas on how to fab something up?

I have the piece taken off of my 96' 993.

Part number is 993.221.340.00

I can take a picture of it if you need since it's not on my car anymore.

PoorBo do you need this piece anymore? If you would
part with it how much would you want for it?

Late to the party as always but where do I find the carbon fiber tube?
