Default Distributor hold down

Hey guys, quick question. Not sure if this should be here or in the OEM section, it is an OEM distributor, but it has been changed... So the distributor hold down on my jeep has been cut so it is adjustable, but the hold down just broke. Anyone know of a different way to hold the distributor where it needs to be, and have it stay there?

Or am I going to have to replace the whole distributor?

I heard old chevy or old ford hold downs would work, just not sure.
