[T3] Beam clamp wanted

I have a bunch of good ones, but if that clamp is rusted out, its very
likely the beam is all rusted out under the rubber bushing too.

Keith --

Thanks for the quick response.
I won't know the condition of the Axle Beam, under the Rubber Bushing and
Clamp until it's disassembled.

Questions:
1)  Are the right- and left-hand Clamps identical?
2)  Have you ever replaced a Clamp that is INSTALLED IN the car without
completely removing the Axle Beam?
Jim thought the one (1) vertical, bolt MAY be impossible to remove because
of its location.  And probably badly rusted, also.
Do you have to remove the fuel tank to get at it?  Is there a welded in nut?
3)  Please. PM me gbforsmo at gmail.com with the cost of one or two?.

I can tell you, I won't install and tow my car with my "clamp-on" Base
Plate until that Axle Beam Clamp is replaced.
And I really would like to tow my '69 Square to New York for the 2014
Invasion.
We'll be leaving for Texas for the winter, soon.  Probably no time to do it
this fall.  And we return May 1, 2014.  Time will be short, the, too.

As Gilda Radner (aka Roseannadanna) on Saturday Night Live said:  "It's
always something."
