Do be careful squeezing that part in a vise. Even if you have a vise that can grip the full length, try to get it gripping only on the ends where it doesn't have the slot extending and is solid across.
The reason I didn't hold it in my grinding vise is that I didn't want to collapse that slot in the middle at all. It's not going to take much pressure to distort something that thin.
