Car Exhaust type clips round the frame tubes at the top and longer bolts in the lower engine mounts
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Ubolts, aka car exhaust clamps...a good hardware store or farm supply store will have a good selection of ubolts, home depot and Lowes would carry as well.

 I have taken many of those off and thrown them in the trash. Don't tighten the u -bolts down so tight they bend the frame tube please for the next guy.
