Now granted I didn't use the Bentley.  I just disassembled the thing by
sight, but upon reassembly I didn't need to clamp anything.  It all slid
right into place and was quite happy.  I've inspected it a couple of
times to make sure that everything was still OK, (see previous message
about allen and shear bolts coming loose) and it still is after 5 months
now.

YMMV apparently,
