Another option for a replacement clamp for the OR2800 is the Champion 
Radio clamp.
https://www.championradio.com/Orion-2800-Replacement-Mast-Clamp.44

I opted for this model as it was easier to replace the factory clamp 
since the rotor was already on the tower.  It was a simple matter of 
removing the old clamp and slipping on the new clamp.  The K7NV would 
have take a bit more work to install in my situation since it slips on 
to the mast.
K7NV's works quite well as I have one on my prop pitch.
