I used this mate - cut off the bad bits on your original clamp and drill a hole into each side where it's still good nearer the top, then bolt in a length of this strap. Use a bottle jack to keep the back box where it should be. Mine lasted 3 years.

Important to know if you have an OEM shape (aka 'clamshell') or an aftermarket oval pattern back box; I'm pretty sure the straps under discussion (which are in two halves - the upper has the hanger loops welded to it) are for the clamshell shape and they are quite different/specific.
Aftermarket oval pattern back boxes can either come with the hanger loops welded to the box itself or with a one-piece split strap complete with welded on hanger loops; I tried to source one last year (for the same reason you are asking the question) but failed and managed a passable repair similar to that described by Arctic (post#5) until I fitted a new DMGRS box and OEM strap |
