Hi Everyone! Can someone please confirm which clamps are correct: tower type or double wire (Corbin)?  According to the Authenticity Manual, Corbin appears to be the preferred but tower types were also mentioned.  Please advise.  Thank you!

On a 1957 the double wire type would be correct.  Tower clamps
didn't start until around the late 50's (1959/1960) as far as I know.
