Replacment wheel bearings and exhaust mounting

Isabella has now returned home after a 4k mile trip round Europe, from N. Spain anticlockwise around the circumference of Switzerland, including up the Stelvio Pass (too many cars when I was there to be interesting).
Now home, my non-specialist garage advises:
New wheel bearings - they balked at the Omicron cost of £162 + VAT each. Does anyone know of a less expensive source
Replacement hanging strap for exhaust box - said garage not liking the look of the ones on the Omicron site - translated from the original greek: "There brown stuff do they do the fabric type which will last longer !" Suggestions welcome, currently on cable ties.

Good price, as long as good ones. Labour costs a lot more. Make sure you have special tools. Just had one done. £580 inc VA

At least in Italy there are cheap Fulvia wheel bearings with a rather limited lifespan. I know of people who recently had to replace them after 6 months. This is the story of buying cheap and then buying twice.

I did a similar trip last year but the other way round. It was briliant. Re your wheel bearings, there are some jobs I would trust to a non specialist garage but I am not sure a wheel bearing is one of them, especially if they are sugesting using cheap bearings. Trying to be helpful not critical.
