OK this might be a crazy question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) But I am working on push-rod length. I don't want to go buy a $50 tool. HF has a crappy $10 one. Or finally wait 6 days for an auction to end and still loose.
What are my options? I have two 6" digital calipers. Is there a way to use them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

The harbor freight one would work, if you know how to read vernier calipers. They do take some practice. The digital ones are pretty good, but they are the 50 bucks you don't want to spend.. You could make a wood jig and use a 1" travel indicator if you in a pinch.
