The best choice ,if you don't have NOS available is to go straight to A & L for there properly made, good steel and cad plated ones.

If you are into worm gear type clamps, you are on you own.
My opinion and experience.
While not the correct look, the worm style made by Ideal would work. Problem is, like so many other products, all you can find is knock offs.

When you turn the worm tight enough to seal against pressure,,, bingo the clamp just pops off loose. JUNK.
