It's generally still called a U-bolt. However, DX Engineering generically calls 
them "saddle-clamps" and differentiates between U bolts and V bolts.  The 
triangular shape accommodates different mast sizes better that a semi-circular 
"U" does.

They might have what you're looking for.

I put “U-Bolt” in quotes as the bottom of the “U” is more triangular the round.  Looking for a replacement on the internet I do not see much of anything that looks like it. Is it called a “U-Bolt”? or something else?
