I've done what I can to tighten it up, but suspect it will slip again (yes, I have the proper size seatpost).
Is there a wrench for this beastie? If not, I think something like JB Weld will hold it in place. If I was going to get the frame painted, I'd probably just have it brazed in place.

Get one of these and grind down the sides to fit if necessary, short, stubby and stout
Clean up that slotted nut and do whatever it takes to keep it in use, no way I would replace it unless I absolutely had too.
