Sammie, you saw that rack I had on my DC? It didn't have the original clamps but the rest was original. I obtained that one for 3 bills. I pruchased it at the Summer Octo meet in 05 and had Gabriel (key guy) schlep it back to texas for me. They're out there. Just be prepared to grab one when you see one. I spent two years trying to find an og industial quarter rack. That, imo, is rarer than the westy racks.
