yeh the motion pro feelers are cool - but really the price! They should get together with the suzuki spark plug/valve access designers and all smoke something.
Anyway I'm gonna have a go at making one of those motion pro things as I want two of them. Been racking my brain to think of something easily available and ready made that i can use as the holding stick thing. Might try a couple of tongue depressors Grin

or meccano? Grin

Whats the motion pro holder made from?
If i can get the right size stick thingy I figure i can just pop rivet the feeler gauge at each end and done. Probably take unexpected hours of focking around but what else have I go to do...

The middle span of the Motion Pro feeler gauges is made from steel bar stock. IHTH!

Be harder gettin a clean hole in the feeler gauge than finding something good to rivet it to,

Feeler strips stuck to alloy strips with double sided foam tape, 90 screwdriver cut in half, off-set wrench. Blue masking tape is just so I could write the thickness on them. Suzuki didn't make it easy!
