If it was me, I would buy that clamp and cut the ends off, swap them around and reweld it to what I need. It looks like it would be easy enough. Just my 2cts

it's not a bad idea and i have thought about it, but welding too close to a magnet will crack them.

TIG welding too close to a magnet will cause arc wander but I never heard of a a magnet causing a weld to crack.

https://www.arc-zone.com/index.php?main ... ts_id=9771 this one with the round bit is designed to slip over the toggle pad of the clamp. A little tig tack should be sufficient to hold it.

They got those pads that screw on to top pads also. You need to have the heavy-duty top pads

This link show what heavy-duty top pads look like http://www.stronghandtools.com/strongha ... hdpads.php
why use standard nozzles after gas lens where invented. Kinda of like starting fires by rubbing sticks together.
