Default J-Bolt

Where can I get a correct looking J-bolt that holds the strap in place? (Did the factory tweak/bend them so they would'nt loosen?

I have an additional 63 tank and strap up in my rafters. Next time I'm up there I can see if there is a "J" bolt taped to it?

I'm sure I have an extra around here somewhere. The bend is about 65 degrees-ish. Nothing too hard to fab with a long bolt, cutoff wheel and torch.

I know I had one at one time, but I can't find it now. I don't have a torch so the search continues. I was thinking that it's probably common to some other cars and that maybe there is a repop. Or someone will have one in a can of Tempest bolts (or in the rafters).
