A second plate holder includes a second adjustment leg joined to a second attachment leg having a second longitudinal axis and second attachment structure. The first and second plate holders are slidably connected together to provide a continuous variable spacing between the first and second adjustment legs while maintaining a parallel relationship between the first and second longitudinal axes.
