Dale, I don't believe that you can get these old style thick half saddles anymore.
I have managed to salvage from 4 hulls (project hull included) conduit, fittings and saddles. Using modern steel tubing I have replaced several sections of straight conduit and threaded it myself with a 3/4" UNF die.
The conduit against the centre bulkhead and under the air scoop is 1" dia and due to that being high off the floor has survived very well. The additional diameter is to accommodate the extra wiring for the generator, regulator and to battery.
