I do not reccomend doing this- I am sure you need good tools to do the job right. You will be much better sending it to Rex, he knows what he is doing and I am very happy with his service, every time I send a piston/sleeve set the engine works as new when it comes back home , ready for racing. You will get a lot more for your money than buying those clamps

Why not?
As mentioned before the engine is now worth nothing so an ideal test object.
What is it that people are not advised to do things by them selves? Afraid it is taking some earnings away from people providing such a service?
To me there is nothing wrong that people choose to do more than only building and driving a car, there is much to learn and at the same time saving money.

It needs to be something hard.
Because I use an ER32 clamp with the largest size 20mm and sleeves of 15.5mm I used a piece of a metal strap band for heavy boxes. On my mill with the vice under a slight angle I could mill a taper on it and bend it arround a sleeve.
For smaller diameter sleeves I made adapters on my lathe from a bar of steel so I can do 17, 17.5, 18, 19.2 and 19.5mm sleeves.
I also found an oversize ER32 clamp of 22mm so I made a small adapter ring to fit 21 and 21.5mm sleeves from .28-.32 engines.
