A Tool You Really Need

Post by Indycars »

I'm using wood, since it's much easier to make mistakes on a soft material like wood. Now
that I can see all the mistakes I made, it should be much easier to make the correct one
from steel. I did buy some 304 SS, but I don't have a drill press that will turn slow enough
on the bigger drills. I will probably just use some steel flat bar from Lowes.

To upgrade my fuel system. I started with the bracket and location of the pressure regulator.
I bought a tool 2 years ago and finally have a situation to use it. I used it for only one hole,
but where it really shines is precisely locating multiple hole at one time. It would be
impossible for the home shop to get all 5 holes located in a bracket, but with this tool it
should be NO problem.

Sure enough it screwed together in perfect alignment without any coaxing and without any
choice words. There would have been no way to measure accurately, I would have had to make
the 2 holes bigger than needed to make it align.

If he doesn't, I can get him started with a lathe and milling machine.
