Fig Rig Clamp

I recently acquired a Manfrotto Fig Rig and I'm looking for a suitable clamp for mounting it on the detachable base of a Sirui P204S monopod when not in use. Can't find the original 595CLA clamp accessory anywhere.

Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative ?

The Fig Rig frame has a tube diameter of 25mm (1'') so I thought maybe a SmallRig 25mm rod clamp intended for attaching accessories to Ronin M/Ronin MX/FREEFLY MoVI gimbals:

Has both 3/8" and 1/4" taps for mounting, but I'm wondering how it would fit with curvature of the fig rig frame; looks like the original 595CLA clamp had rubber cuffs to grip and protect the tubing when screwed down:

The SmallRig clamp surface has just the bare metal. Would there be enough tolerance in the clamp aperture to wrap a strip of rubber around the tube ?

Any suggestions ? Cheers.

That's what I did ?

SmallRig also do a clamp with a larger 30mm aperture:

I guess I could try that with a thick sleeve of rubber around the Fig Rig tube.

And there are similar 25mm and 30mm offerings from Camvate:

I just wondered if any members who have/had a Fig Rig could recommend one that works well, or have a 595CLA clamp to sell.
