Ah that is a special part and may not be easy to duplicate. It is made like a hose clamp, The strap is a slice cut from an old computer case with a pair of tinsnips and wrapped around the leg snuggly with the ends held together with 3/16" metal threads. Materials were in the junk box. If I had to do it again I may use something else.

Old computer cases are a great source of thin metal plate that is much stronger than jam tins and easily worked with tinsnips, bandsaw, jigsaw etc.
