Make sure the fit is perfect (as always) and use HHG. Hi clamping pressure not necessary. At least it has bridge pins to help keep it aligned.

Rare earth magnets are really handy for something like this.

I'd use HHG and hold the bridge in place with hand pressure until the glue grips it.

Then apply the rare earth magnets outside, taped to some card taped to the bridge, then magnets inside applied on the end of a bent stick.

Finally heat the bridge to reactivate the glue, then leave overnight before removing the magnets.

Like Tim says, perfect fit and HHG. Then a vacuum clamp.

You have some good advice here. I've done these before, they're interesting.

Make sure the fit is perfect (100% perfect no exceptions) and use HHG or Old Brown Glue. I made a little micro go bar deck that only reached over the bridge area (like a 1x3) and would screw to the bench. That way it was super easy to get equal pressure on all parts of the bridge and to get it aligned correctly. If you want I can draw it out for you but you're pretty smart and could probably figure it out.

So the go bars are exerting pressure from the outside, but there's nothing inside?

It would be a PIA to get gobars inside that thing but violin makers do something similar with the sound post.
