Hi,
I wound up snarfing up a 1 foot length of 1/2" hex bar stock from a
machine shop. It worked perfectly and the cost was dirt cheap.
If there's a metal supplier in your area, call them and ask about random
cutoff lengths of materials. You can often purchase them for cheap money
(usually by the pound).
Better still - if you have a friend or relative that is a machinist see if
they ever see scraps in the recycling pile.
Bottom line - some of these things are pretty hard to get apart, but I've
had luck with my setup, and when extra leverage is needed, don't be afraid
the try a long lever (but mount the MC in the vise supporting the body,
NOT the ears - unless you want to buy a new MC).
