I am in the process of installing the brass acetylene tubing from the generator to the headlamps. I am in need of the metal clamps that bolt to the frame and hold the brass tubing. Is there a vendor that makes them? If not, does anyone have some photos of one or dimensions of an original? I would appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you!

Here is a sketch I made of my original. This discussion should be helpful.

Re: Acetylene Headlamp Tubing Clamps
The bolts have a 1/4-28 thread, about 9/16" long, and are drilled for an itty bitty cotter pin. The bolt and nut are both square, 3/8" across the flats. Yes, a square nut with a cotter pin.
I wish I could remember who's image this is so I could give proper credit.

Thank you Keith! The bolts will be difficult to find.
