Toyota ribber is missing its table clamps/brackets (sopuli.xyz)

I own a Toyota knitting machine KS 901 and I recently found the matching ribber KR 501. The ribber is a bit in a rough shape but it's fixable. But when I tried to connect the two I realize that the ribber clamps that came with it are the wrong type and they don't fit right.

I've been looking everywhere for replacement clamps but I find very few. On eBay they're usually in the UK and they won't ship to me (I live in Belgium). Or I find generic clamps but I don't know if they'll fit my ribber.

12247 (An image I found online of the ribber clamps I need)

Is there another place online where to find those? Or does anyone have the measurements for these particular clamps so that I can see if any of the generic ones match?

Know anyone who does 3D printing? You might be able to have the proper one modeled and made for you.

There are commercial services that print for you. The harder part is finding the exact measurements and someone to model the clamps.

Hence knowing someone who does it. If they know someone, that person might be able to take measurements directly.
