Not familiar with the set up but I’m guessing a zip tie won’t work?

I can try but essentially a heavy 26.8mm steel rod that needs to be held

Can't get my head around what you're trying to do (picture?)

But would this help?

Edit: Sorry, I read '28.6' instead of '26.8'

Can you not put an expanding bolt / a cap in and hold it with a wrench or Allen key or a jubilee clip around the rod and then grab that with vice grips?

toe strap around down tube and fork leg

Maybe a strip of inner tube to wrap around the rod, and a zip tie or 5 to hold it in place, depending on how wide your zip ties are? If the rod is painted you might want to keep a needle handy to open the zip tie back up instead of trying to cut it off.
