Good. You'll want a spacer of some sort, such as a block of wood with a hole in it, to put over the other end of the cotter. Make the spacer as big as possible, so you don't have too much of the threads of the C-clamp showing, because that's where the flex will be. Put the fixed end of the clamp on the cotter, and the spacer on the moveable (threaded) part. Make sense?
