Fred,
I believe you are advocating bending a permanent reduction in the bail
width with the vise (if not, I have misunderstood you).
I do NOT recommend doing that since it results in a loose fitting bail
which will be 'floppy'.
Using a vise or a clamp to squeeze the bail temporarily while installing
the screws is OK, but permanently distorting the bail is not OK IMHO.

VISE - that is the trick. Just force some (SOME)
of the spring width out of the metal item.
It works fine, if you just squeeze it down a small
amount - do it in stages, as it would be hard to
make it wider again in a Vise.
