I don't see why any competent machine shop couldn't make these
U-bolts for you, using either threaded rod or rod the same diameter
cut to correct length, threaded at both ends and then hammered over
to form the u-bolt profile.
If you are skilled enough you could do so yourself, and use brass rod
instead for easier going. I will grant you, the 8-32 thread is fairly
small to match but it can be done. All a shop would need, would be to
borrow an example. You could then give them and order large enough to
give yourself a few spares.
Congratulations and Good Luck on your project!
