holding in place

Hi again

Further to my recent question about suspension. What methods have you guys used to hold an arch in place before fitting to see if it looks right?

I've tried spring clips but cant get then in with the wheel fitted.

I'd obviously like to look at the arch in position from different angles before comitting to drilling plus in held it would be easier to finally drill and fit.

Thanks
Nigel

you could try a couple of blocks of wood connected together with a foot of string, on top of the tyres, with some thin ply to shim them up so you can step back to see what they look like ?

what about double sided sticky tape, should do temporarily?

2 mole grips worked for me

Or get someone to hold them while you look
Just make sure they have a steady hand

you can roll duck/duct tape back on itself to make a good double sided tape.
