Backdraft Damper For Bathroom Exhaust Fan

I broke the backdraft damper in my second floor bathroom exhaust fan. It’s ceiling mounted and has attic ductwork that exits through the roof. I have to replace some of the attic ductwork which I think has rusted out…. telltale damp spots on the ceiling. While doing the ductwork I figured that maybe I could install an inline backdraft damper to replace the one I broke. Anybody ever do this? Brand recommendations?

Mainly you want a style that will fit, and not be too hard to install.
I found one at a local HVAC supply company. It's installed and working. Bought the replacement ductwork there too. Better quality stuff than the Big Box stores.
