What does a yeti sound like?

On my 760, there's a dreadful rattle when idling from under the driver's footwell. Where the exhaust passes under the floor a short heat reflector, just a half round piece of metal, like a short piece of narrow guttering, was originally mounted with self tappers (or maybe they are set screws into proper threaded bushes) up into the floor. One has rusted away completely and the other is corroding away, so at idle there's a constant tinny tinkle bonkle all the while. I can't fix, because the fastenings are in line with the exhaust.
