The tool i made lines up perfect and I used a block of wood with hole drilled for shaft as a spacer and was able to keep tension on the tool with the prop nut. Sadly the bolts I am using for studs are not strong enough and keep bending under pressure causing them to slip out of the holes. The next step is too find a stronger bolt or weld some sort of very hard 1/4 stock onto the tool. I don’t have access to a welder right now so the project may have to wait. I’m going to call up some local shops tmro and see if they are willing to remove the cover for me and I will do the rest.
