Re: uh oh......
Then you can use the flat metal out of a Stanley Combination square for the flat bar stock, that is what I used for years.
Or get a tool off the interweb.

Cheapest I found.

To lock the ip I just used a large bolt that I found in the "extra" bolt crap I had laying about. I actually think it was a engine/tranny bolt or a bumper bolt, I can't remember
too many years and cars ago.
