Where can you get a distributor hold-down for a 1949–1953 Flathead?

Ed says he does not know where to buy the original, so he takes a late-model 302 Ford hold-down and grinds small notches on each corner. That is just enough to make it fit and slide onto the distributor, and the 302 part is readily available anywhere.
