Double bolt seatpost clamps

I am rebuilding a cheap tandem (don't judge - it cost me $20 and I've put another $30 in it).

Everything else has been cleaned up, repaired, or replaced with affordable parts or stuff I had laying around. It's riding really well, at least as well as a cheap tandem can.

The seatpost clamps are double bolt. They were extremely tarnished and I have been unable to get them looking good. I'm having a hard time finding replacement clamps that won't cost an arm and a leg to ship, and that aren't ugly as hell colors (no silver or chrome, just oddball colors).

Any reason I can't replace the clamps with single bolt or even quick release clamps?
