Reducing Rattles

Before
A couple of times, I have heard some rattling at high RPM in the Miata.  I'm not sure what it is, but it doesn't seem serious.  I did discover a possible cause--the heat shield on the header was missing some bolts.
I took a bolt that I had removed from another part of the car and replaced it.
After
There was also a nut missing.  A stainless washer and nut took care of that.
You can see another missing bolt in this picture.  I tried to replace it, but the old bolt is actually broken off in there, making it pretty tough to install a new one.
