If Kanter or one of the used parts guys can't come up with original brackets perhaps they could be made. It looks like maybe a couple of pieces of angle iron or L shape brackets bolt into the holes on either side of the pipe with a short strap hanging off each side. A metal bar at the bottom for the U bolt connects the two straps. McMaster has 12" square pieces of 1/4 or 3/8 rubber & fabric belting material which could be cut for straps.
You might even be able to adapt the commercial universal double strap mount available from Summit.
The single grommet type might be usable if there is enough depth to have the hanger end up somewhat vertical.

I am still trying to find something simple that will work where the pipe passes through the chassis.
