I was thinking of making my own gimbel/engine line up tool, it will save me $50+.
I'm guessing most the tool (handle end) is gimbel bearing ID, the next diameter/step will be the engine coupler minor diameter and the final step being the engines pilot bearing I.D.
It looks like a very simple 3 step shaft, that could be quickly mic'ed up with step lengths determined with a tape measure.
I could turn it up and have it precision ground for nothing.
