Hey guys I need help with someone with a dial indicator.  Will someone set it up so you can measure the distance your clutch pressure plate moves? Im designing a cable operated clutch system and need to know this distance.

THANK YOU.

I remember we talked about that. Ill see if I can machine them at my teachers shop. Doubt I can at school since its a big fire hazard.

[Ahks]

its a big fire hazard.

Is it the sort of "fire hazard" people like me would pay good money to watch? I saw someone mention that if your mag case scrapes concrete it's shower of sparks rather than what you get when steel hits concrete. I can only imagine what it would look like getting machined with the wrong tools.
