Where to find 7-8" micrometer for preloadz
Going to be setting back lash and preload on my RX7 diff as soon as I can find some TOOLZ. Can't seem to find a nice one at a decent price. Anyone have any tips? Also need a dial indicator. Hook a bro up.

The cheapo mics at that range tend to have .001" resolution, which you can get in any caliper, so you're probably not going to find what you need for $20. If you can find a mitutoyo brand mic for a decent price with a zero setting standard, you're gold.

I just grabbed some off ebay. They seemed fairly decent. I didn't want to cheap out all the way, since I may use this in the future.

That's where I got mine. Starrett 7"-8", dirt cheap. I was surprised how many good name brand measuring tools there were on ebay. Really good prices too.

I used a piece of sheet metal instead of a large caliper. I cut the opening to the maximum of the range and made it so it cleared the rest of the diff and just used it as a go-nogo gauge.
Dial indicators are cheap at McMaster and other places. You could probably do the backlash by feel if you had enough experience with setting up diffs. fwiw, I set everything at the "tight" end of the spec because I expected it would loosen up as it was used. |
