Tony: i know you are a new member, but maybe you might have an old member that lives close to you to help or buy your vise and clamps and give them a good home if you would care to say. i live in Seattle, but there are members all over the US and the world that belong here that are stand up guys and gals.
the jaws don't quite match up on your Emmert so not sure what is the issue or how exactly how to fix it, but it looks like an interesting vise.
good luck
