Torque tube clamp for autopilot roll servo

Looks like other aircraft have used similar setups. These are used to attach the roll servo pushrod to the 1 1/2" aileron torque tube in the belly. Installing one for a buddy and like this setup. This one is going in a RV4. Looking for a part number to order one....or if someone has a spare to sell
 
I recently installed servos in my RV-4 and used the above mentioned torque tube clamp. I fabricated it using thin steel strapping. Welded on a couple of tabs to attach the servo arm to and bent the ends so that I could clamp it tight with a bolt. I also added a 1/8" through hole that i put a pop rivet in just to make sure it could slip on the tube. Sorry, no help as to letting you know where to find a prefabricated piece but its not too difficult to bend one up of your own. If you aren't a welder the tabs for the servo arm could be riveted on.
