Drill and prep all holes first,,,, bolt the plate on and check alignment, remove every other bolt and replace with a rivet... Allow to cool and repeat with the remaining bolts. Problem with using clamps is they vibrate loose and you end up with slack rivets or miss alignment issues, fine if your doing maybe one rivet, but not say an entire side plate on a carrier.
