Anyone reproduce Westfalia Wood Slat Rack Clamps sloper 59-61?

Will the later style repops at least work to hold the rack on?

I have reproduced a number of 1959 to mid 1961 westy rack clamps. A mold of an orginal clamp was made to create the pressing tool so the shape is exact.
The clamp on the left is an original clamp from which the tooling mold was made. The middle clamp is a reproduced electro-galvanized clamp. These are $80 each.
The clamp on the right is raw steel (to allow you to galvanise the clamp at the same time as (if) you re-galvanize your rack) but I have sold out all of these at the moment. These are $75 each.
Shipping is additional.

Very cool! So do you have a set of the galvanized ones on hand or are you out of them all? Would you make some more if I bought a full set? Thanks!
