Default Pressing Hub Bolts

I have the stud installation tool from Snyder and a 30 ton press...is there a jig that can be bought or maybe made to hold the hub while pressing the studs?

I had to build my own jig. Hand holding the hub and drum gets very risky. Hub and drum have to be very tight to one another and both MUST be kept perpendicluar to the stud. Stud Very square to the pressure from the press. Just a little bit lopsided and you get a lopsided stud or worse yet a cracked drum or hub.

I believe it was Don Turley that made and sold some nice holders for swaging wheel studs.
Maybe a search would turn up a picture of one.
