This is what I use for my tire carrier. I had to use longer bolts as the tire carrier tubing was quite thick. Got it at a CB radio shop. I think they call it a mirror and or luggage rack mount.

Same here. That's why I used much longer bolts. Would that work for you?

I think he means on the distance bewteen bolts on the one bracket half, not between bracket halves.

I've done the exhaust clamp in the past, and it's worked well. Then you just need the standard right angle ant mount.

Princess Auto sells clamps like this for around $5:

Oh the words! i'm so confused! Yeah, the spacing doesn't allow it to actually clamp with large diameter tubing within that space. However, just having a tiny bit of that notch, mine still clamps tight enough without moving. I wasn't sure if he had it mounted already, or was trying out the mount for fitting. or am I still confused? Edit: I get it now after looking at mine. :x!
