Funny in Australia we call them podgers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podger_spanner No idea why but scaffolders use them.

Look on the bright side. At least you're man enough to fess up to it.
This is from a post on All Metal Shapers Forum from Jim Slabe who had to cut an MGB windscreen. I found a glass guy in Vista (about 20 miles...

Can you lower the box or raise the suspension mounting points?
