Default Correct Muffler Clamps

Having to replace the muffler on my '70 TA. Since it was replaced once before, it has generic muffler shop clamps. I thought I remembered someone was reproducing a correct curved saddle style clamp, but after hours of searching online, can't find any. Any help guys??

Do you mean the Ames pieces? FL330S (2") and FL330T (2-1/4").

I saw Ames considers those to be the correct original design. But they don't look like they match what the Assembly Manual pictures or what I've seen of original clamps in the past.
I've gone through multiple years MPC's and come up with part numbers, but what I'm finding "out there" are later superceded designs, not even remotely correct.

I guess I'm used to the '74 clamps.
Any design here look more correct?

Yes, the Pontiac clamp is the design I'm looking for. Called them to get a price, but they require buying the full exhaust system kit. Don't need to buy all that just for 6 clamps.
