Sure! A long lever arm held under tension balanced by a wire, just to hold a cage in place is to me extremely goofy, rube goldberg. I'll replace that metal bracket some time, it's just all I could find in the cabinet. Or take apart an old FD like hillrider suggests ... which needs a longer clamp because of the angle ... nothing is easy without lots of spare parts and a machine shop
