That clamp is the score of the day, I would slather that with Turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover, scrub with brass bristle brush and repeat till it shines.
Auto zone, Oreillys, etc. all carry it.

merziac it’s actually the clamp from the link you posted on this thread back in September. Thanks for that! I’ve got the part and its hardware soaking overnight in a small dish of Bar Keepers Friend. I’ll try the Turtle wax chrome polish and brass bristle brush next.
