I cannot recommend these. See the 2nd last pic in the eBay description, showing the new and original clamp's inside side by side? You can see the Brompton clamp is wider in the middle while the new one is straight. That slight widening in the middle is there for a reason: It ensures that the outside corners of the clamp are forced together. That is crucially important for firm clamping. When I used a Brompfication clamp, I found the frame wobbled a bit. That clamp was the reason. Went back to the old clamp and all is right.
