Thanks! Do you think that’ll fit on the base I posted? Thought about just using the dial I already have.

You're going to have to stand on your head for the lower third of the rotation !! People have been making do with the type you have for decades. Will it fit any better if you ditch the second arm and attach the indicator to the main post?

I have a tool I designed that might work for you. It has a 6 bolt flange and I use for all my bellhousings. If you want to use it send me a PM with your address I'll ship it to you.

That looks sweet. I already have this straight shaft coming my way that I think will work a lot better. If it doesn’t I’ll be shooting you a PM. Thanks!!!!

the indicator you have appears to have the same size shafts. [remember, my eyes are not the best any more]
can't you attach your indicator to the main shaft using the clamps you have ?

No it won’t attach. I’ve already tried it. I probably could have cut it off and rigged it up somehow but I had other stuff going on and didn’t have time to mess with it. The indicator I have now will work on this shaft I’m getting but wanted an extra one.

And it also has to point in the direction of the base.
