Has anyone figured out how to deal with the unusual air cleaner mounting clamp on a 56 Dodge two barrel carb?

We have a newly rebuilt engine for the 56 dodge and the last problem to deal with is the original oil bath air filter.

The filter has a clamp arrangement that clamps around the carb throat. The clamp would not tighten around the carb and then the clamp broke off of the air cleaner body.

We would like to use the orginal air cleaner but think a more sporty air cleaner would look good. All comments and ideas will be appricated.
