Reading saved files from the gurus, it seems that one way of getting it right is with a dial gauge. Looks fool proof in the video and could be perfect for someone like me with little mechanical instinct/feel who is better off following instructions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I was quite reluctant to go down this route initially as I thought the gauges would be wildly expensive. Especially so, if you consider how often I’m likely to use one! However, prices aren’t too bad and I think I’ll get one.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So……….seems to me that the probe bits on the gauges I’m looking at are all too short to get down to the ball bearing in the OD’s operating valve. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Looking at the pictures on eBay and Google Images, it seems that most of the probes are tipped with a knurled point which looks like it’s designed to be unscrewed. My hope is that tip screws off in order to fit an extension. I’ve seen extensions on eBay, all with 2.5M thread. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Am I right? Does the tip come off to permit the addition of an extension?? (Plainly, not all gauges have this knurled tip and I’ll be avoiding those without!)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Simon<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
