Anybody used one?

Seems like a pretty good concept. Trying to get hold of one but can only find them from the states which is a bit of a pain but suppose waiting a few days and paying pennies is better than the massive cost of getting them done in shop. If it actually works.

Just use a feeler gauge, and it probably won't work either.

Feeler gauge worked fine for me. Try some old photographic film, or anything thin and stiff e.g. packaging plastic. Might work, might not, but it only takes a couple of minutes to try.

I recall a thread where stinkwheel used old fashioned film negative with the hole side cut off. Found it here and also here on ratbike.org.

Never had need to try this myself (touch wood Wink ) so would like to hear how it goes.

Thumbs Up
