Material- black bar to be set in a four jaw chuck, centred each end and faced to length, then turned and knurled between centres.

    I always do it by eye and use a 1/2 inch socket extension to move the clutch plate into position - gearbox and engine have always mated perfectly

    The bush drift was also a first year exercise. All they have changed in the last fifty years is to express the dimensions in metric. Others unchanged are the small vee thread machine jack, the larger square thread machine jack, the vee blocks, the toolmakers clamps, the surface guage, the three small surface plates.

    Well done. I usually use the Mark One Eyeball to good effect.
