Just a thought:
Used.. are typically rusted (zinc plating, oiy).
New... oem are pricey
Alternative.... if you are not entering the car in shows, common 'conduit' clamps available at most of the homedeposits, 2 sizes can handle all three hose sizes.
The common metric hex self tapping screw was a 5,5x16 (a 1/4" x 5/8" might do).
Between the clamp and the tub body put a dab of rtv in the hole before you insert the screw.

clamps.
Good point.
When I pulled the clamps from the car, I cleaned them up with a brass bristle brush, used the VHT, then dipped them in this stuff.
