Thanks for the suggestions. 75 Plus, although they are identical, I just wanted them in position so I know they were all square. The important thing is that the V grooves line up 1 1/4" from the plate. I may be well use some visegrips or at least see how they "feel". Otherwise I`m going to have to simply use them as a template in turn. Chris |

If you go for the vice grips I suggest you use soft packings to avoid marking your lovely shiny brass bits. |

Thanks Anzaniste ... I`ve been having to use some small brass strips that I`ve cut and rounded the edges of to hold all my brass sections so far. The brass had backing plastic on it but it was uneven and you just couldn`t mark out with it on so that has been removed leaving the brass exposed. The little brass packings have been working well so far and I found that the brass is very soft cutting so obviously the vice has to be tight but not tightened to death!! I`ll let you know how I get on. Chris |

Nice 1 Chris, you're on a roll! I'll be watching this one too then! Nick |

You might try some loctite to secure the pieces temporarily while drilling. Then some heat to release. |
