The other problem being that the fine pitch of the thread makes it easy to cross thread - if you are not careful enough!
I used to scribe a very small fine line on the interface of the trigger block and the air cylinder tube (usually out of sight below the woodwork so is hidden when the stock is refitted) - so that I didn't have to guess the re-alignment - anyone else done that?
I think I will have to look at making up something on the lines of the op, using plywood, built up is a splendid idea!
(could anyone post up any pictures of a suitable clamp? Mick - you seem pretty good at this type of thing!)

Simple little job,I just cut 5 pieces of plywood, 2 plain squares and 3 with cut out to accept the shape of the trigger unit. The made up block now fits squarely to the sash clamp and the threads match. No struggling to bring the parts together by brute force, just wind up the acme thread on the clamp. Pic of block with square side not fitted and finished Mercury.
