Default EGR Hold Down Bracket 1973

Does anyone know where I might be able to find an EGR hold down bracket for a 73? I think it may be the same as a 74. I bought a block off plate for the EGR but it wasn't what I expected. The plate must block off the bottom of the valve and is held on by the bracket...hell I don't know. But I just picked up the correct intake to put on it and all of the smog stuff had been removed by previous owner. Therefore I was just going to block off the EGR. Having a hard time finding the bracket....Thanks!

You'd think with the squillions of V8 engines that GM pumped out in the era there'd be a ton of original parts available.

The EGR does not have hold-down bolts. The clamp has one bolt and tongues to secure the valve. (Ignore the silver paint.)
