Exhaust heat shield loose - Fixed on Astra H Mk5

Exhaust heat shield rusted itself loose the other day, dropping down and catching on speed bumps. This seems to be a common thing on older cars, which I have done before on my old ford focus. I was intrigued to see how the Astra fittings compared to the focus, so set about fixing it. Looking under the car my initial thoughts were "****! those nuts are never going to undo".
