Make your own! Get some galvanized (or better yet, alu) flashing from the hardware store, cut and pop rivet it into a heat shield shape using your existing new one as a template, and then bolt it on. Problem solved, money saved, heat shield preserved, etc. I've done this to a few cars and never had any complaints (other than it rattles if you do a bad job fabbing it up while rolling around under the car in a gravel driveway).
I take the infamous front bolt and reverse it, but I also put another nut and a split washer on it, sandwiching the floor between the nut and the bolt head. Then slip a wrench in under the heating duct (possible with only the front carpet pulled back a bit!) and tighten the two together real good, put your heat shield on the bottom, and tighten a nut down to hold that (use a ton of anti-seize and a stainless nut).
Or if the floor is really bad, just use self tapping screws and sleeves or stacks of washers or old nuts to make it stand off of the floor a ways. I promise I won't tell anybody. Honest.
G'luck!
