Sourcing unusual Forme Flash seatpost clamp part?
Hi all,
Just purchased a Forme Flash road bike from ebay. Unfortunately, seatpost clamp part seems to have either disappeared in transit or disappeared in the seller's house pre-transit. Even more unfortunately, it's a bit unusual and inserts into the frame in front of the seatpost - this review has pictures of the bike:

Forme / MooreLarge have gone into administration so my email to them about spares just bounced back. So last shout out really, anyone have any ideas if I can source this part from anywhere? Any other bike brands use this clamp system? I've had no luck finding it anywhere on the internet. It's a shame as it seems like a lovely bike and was a bargain, but looking likely I'm going to have to return to seller.
PS it's not fallen into the frame, I've checked.
Cheers!

Hi,
If anyone else comes across this post as I did searching for the replacement clamp to purchase and cannot find replacement as I couldn't feel free to reply to my comment.
I had this part re-designed from photos so I could 3D print it. If anyone else needs this just shoot me a comment or message and I can send you the STL file ready for 3D printing. Unfortunately I can only add images to this post.
Thanks both so much for your responses!
Hi, did this clamp work or did you manage to find something?
I have the exact same issue with my Former Flash Road Bike
Looks a little like this one...https://www.orbea.com/pl-pl/accesoires/spare-parts/cat/seatpost-wedge-or...
Not a confirmation, but this is a UK source:
