I have a cheap one if it doesn't need to be perfect. Its not rusty but has a couple of small notches for bug tailpipes. $ 50 plus shipping or greyhound from Penticton. Should get you through an inspection.

Re Read his reply to your question. He has a bus bumper with beetle tail pipe holes cut in it. It will fit your bus!

Here you go. There are no rust holes or cracks, but a lot of pitting and a few dents and dings, bit the square holes for the bolts are all nice and square still. The half black half white paint makes it look worse than it really is. Its not perfect, but it's cheap.
