[T3] 72 Air cleaner to body

My only problem is I have none of the parts from the air cleaner to the body. So aim trying to figure out if there is any alternatives to making that connection that anyone has found or is using currently.

All our cars originally came with one of the QR clamps on the AC end of the input bellows. The body end was always a screw tightened version. The QR versions often got abused and deformed, and were eventually lost. I figured out that everything sealed and worked just fine with no clamp at all on the AC end. I still have the QR clamps on most of my cars, but I'm careful with them.
