A spreader for fitting shoes to motorcycle drum brakes

Yesterday, I planned to make a spreader for drum brake shoes. I considered a few ideas and decided that it would be easy to make some special jaws for a vice, but when I removed the standard jaws I saw a much easier way. I just moved the jaws along. So I did not need to make anything, just a 30 second job whenever I need to fit or remove shoes.

Jon, I do not know if this is best in tips & tricks or the tools. I leave it to you to move if necessary.
