657-400       4"         3/8-16

These are available by order from the Dorman catalog at most automotive 
parts stores.  They are on page 15-2 of the 1992 Dorman catalog, and cost in 
the range of $2 to $3.  These clamps are plated steel but not galvanized, and 
seem to last reasonably well in the weather.  They come packed one to a box 
with nuts, but I use them with plated washers and elastic stop nuts 
("Nylock").
