Skip, I did a bad job of explanation, I don't need a BMW vise haha just a vise that can handle pressure and the jaws and clamp more streamlined the Dan clamp is bulky like a vise grip pliers and when I try and center or Aline each side of the jig the clamp is just so bulky. Maybe it's the angle of the clamp also. I guess I'll have to take some pictures to explain..anyway did that explanation help?
