Calling this "fabrication" is a bit of a stretch, but if anyone is building up a rotary and is lacking the spendy tool needed to measure step wear on the plates, this little bracket thingy I made and a standard dial indicator will do the job rather well. All this is is a chunk of solid AL bar stock and an AL right angle piece bolted to it, that I bolted the dial indicator to. Pictures describe it better than words...

Sorry I didnt see your comment.
I do have a build threas on the other forum in the 20b section.

This is my solution to using a REW rear plate with a RE front and intermediate. What do you think? I'll be surprised if the oil pan doesn't leak. I'm a master welder if you couldn't tell.
