Default Master cylinder u-bolt?!?

Does anyone know where I can get the friggin' master cylinder u-bolt and nuts for an LT1 car? I've looked on ebay, salvage yards, message boards, etc. I'm doing a T56 swap, and this is the only part I need to start the swap. Help!!!

What if you bought some all-thread and bent it into shape?

You know what? That's a good idea. I'll try that. I was just told that I needed to have the u-bolt to hold the master in place. Thanks!

I made a U-bolt.. Just used some thin sheet metal, and welded the bolts to it.

Why a U-bolt? Because I cant hold a bolt from the outside and tighten a nut from the inside... In fact...when the booster and all is in place, I can hardly even get a wrench down to the bolts let alone hold them...and I need a helper in that case. With the u-bolt...slip it on, go inside and tighten away.

Just my opinion...and my car is a 3rd gen too...so maybe its easyier to get to on a 4th gen...?? When I took it off the donor car, the donor car just had nuts and bolts and it was alittle bit of a pain.
