I was cleaning out the special tools section of my box. I came across this. Do you know what it is for? I am sure the Cap'n will know right away. I thought I would have some fun with this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Oct 31 2010, 09:39 PM)  How do they work ? It's hard to get past Step One in the instructions: Find A Perfectly Level Location but assuming you can manage that, the tool indexes on the bumps that all sealed beam headlights have and shows the inclination from vertical via the bubble level. That's it. You're on your own for side-to-side aiming. |
