Restoring a 1985 team Lotto/Merckx. It currently has Mavic Open 4 ceramics on it, but I'd like to get it back to the period spec but not sure which rims would be needed???

Please tell me there was a clincher available in 85 and in order to get it right I don't need to go tubular! If not, what would have been the nearest clincher rim to it?

thanks!!!!!
 
Mavic MA40 or MA2 (red labels) would be right I think.

G40 was slightly earlier and Open 4 was later.
