[Healeys] Stator Tube & Trafficator Question

[Alan Schultz]

Why not try inserting a rod up from the bottom that would act as an 
alignment tool so that the long stator tube can be inserted until its 
out the bottom? My guess is a 5/16th inch x 12" long tapered on one end. 
That's a guess!! I know it sounds too easy but sometimes luck is on your 
side.
