Series I-II Intake/Exhaust Manifold Clamps and Bolts

I have a 1962 Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans (Series II Alpine) and I am looking for the intake manifold attachment clamp and long bolt that goes in the center of the intake manifold (Plate D-222, #1201716, Sunbeam Alpine Parts List) and the two intake/exhaust manifold clamps and long bolts that are on the outside edges of the manifold (D222/1, #1201168). The exhaust headers have the triangular shaped wedges welded to the two outboard pipes. I have the intake and exhaust manifolds, rebuilt Zenith carburetors, and all the plumbing fixtures on the intake manifold. Hopefully someone will have a set of clamps and bolts so I will not have to make them from scratch. Thanks in advance for your help.

Gary,

Thanks for the additional information. The Parts List I was referencing was the original July 1959 edition, but I have since copied the master list from the SAOCA website. I still need to find the clamps and bolts.

Series I-II-III Intake Manifold Clamp

Thanks to all the Sunbeamers who offered advice and gave me information and sources for the manifold clamps and bolts I needed. I now have everything but the center (middle) clamp of the intake manifold. I have discovered that my intake manifold is a Series III (vacuum check valve port in the front) rather than a Series II. However, I am still in need of the center clamp which fits against the bolt hole boss and the two flats on either side of it. The bolt hole boss protrudes about 1/8th inch out from the two flats on the manifold.

Any leads or assistance is appreciated.

Thanks for your note. I have attached two pages from the Sunbeam Parts list and the clamps have an arrow pointed at them. The clamp is for the center bolt of the intake manifold and has two small legs on either end but it is flat at the center because the bolt boss protrudes about an 1/8th inch past the outboard flat spots on either side of the bolt hole. If you have one or have a lead please let me know.
