Default Re: Adjusting Model "A" Valves

I've adjusted valves on our Open Pickup but have the tough part to go. The truck's tappets are adjustable but have the double nut locking setup. The block has not been machined to make holding the tappet/locking down the nut a simple task. In fact, I think I will have to grind a 1/2" tappet wrench down to the thickness of a dime to geterdone.
Any tricksy methods to make this easier? Gotta finish the job to get back on the road in time for Fox Valley's Model A Day drive to Starved Rock State Park on Saturday.
