Default Brazing metal

Hi,

I need to braze two pieces of aluminum together for a car related enhancement. The problem is I can't braze it in place so it has to be done off the car.

Since the two parts are odd ball shapes and angles, I can't clamp them well.

Any ideas as to how I can hold them in place while I braze them.

By the way the pieces of aluminum are 1/8 in thick and vary in width from 1/2 inch to an inch.

Can you use clay? I tried molding crumpled-up tin foil to the two pieces with some success but the pieces still move a bit.
