Vixen dovetail Clamp with 3/8 mount

Does anyone know of any Vixen dovetail clamps (short/small) which comes standard with a 3/8" thread for mounting?
Everything I find states they all have 1/4 thread for tripod mounting but most heavy duty tripods come with 3/8 mount screw.
I have a small clamp here but it has an 8mm threaded mount, I can drill it out and tap it to 3/8 to fit my tripod (Cambo SCH gear head with 25Kg capacity I acquired yesterday) but I already use this clamp for something else so am looking to buy something like the Bintel/GSO round clamp. Again, they have standard 1/4 mount and I don't like buying new stuff and machining it prior to warranty running out.
Ultimately I want to use the Cambo head for my Astro Track star tracker with an 80mm scope and possibly D810 for higher resolution (Astro trac has 15Kg capacity).
Thanks!
