Clamp-on horn grille fog lights

I have seen in some much older threads, a very cool pair of clamp-on fog lights for use on the stock horn grilles.
I have, after much cross searching, determined that a former pelican forum member used to make and sell a very cool bracket that would allow you to mount fog lights without having to change the horn grilles to the ridiculously priced fog lamp versions. It seems that he unfortunately passed away years ago, and I have not been able to find any other source for these. I would love (and it seems from reading that I am not the only one) to be able to mount a pair of fog lights to the horn grilles with a clean, inexpensive bracket, that would not require the expensive horn grille replacement/brackets.

Any help on where to find these would be very helpful, if there is even still a source of them.

You could always but a set of the plastic repro horn grills and cut them to accommodate the TTG lights. I'd did that and made my own brackets and it worked beautifully.

The only set of lights I saw in person that were mounted to the grills shook like crazy going down the road, so just make sure the brackets are stout if you go your planned route.

Not sure what you mean by 'clamp on"? I made some nice through the grille (not cut out) brackets for my Carellos today, using an old design that I found on some Porsche forums. pretty happy with the outcome.

I would not clamp onto the grill slats myself. I imagine that pot metal is somewhat brittle.
