Abstract: A clamping device includes a length, a first member, a second member, and a tightening screw. The first member has a plurality of slots, a ball end, and an axis. The slots are perpendicularly oriented to the axis of the first member. The first member communicates with the second member such that the length of the clamping device can be adjusted. The second member has a first portion with a stop end and a second portion with a pivot end that fits into any one of the plurality of slots. The tightening screw attaches the first member to the second member. The first portion and the second portion each have a tightening screw slot for accepting the tightening screw and allowing the clamping device to be adjusted such that it allows clamping onto an existing aircraft structure via the ball end, the stop end, and the finger.
