As per topic, I'm in need of a clutch alignment tool to suit a 1.3L in Sydney. Anyone got one they want to rent out for a six pack, or conversely where do you buy them from?

Never used one before I just use my precision fingers to gauge the gap betwwen plate and clutch.

Big flat head screwdriver with electrical tape wrapped round the blade. Works fine.

otherwise find something the same size as your spigot bearing. Ie a pencil then find a socket the same size as the splines make them into a tool, I found toilet paper works well for stuffing around the pencil to keep it centered in the splines.

As said, just use your eye, and the force. I have not used a clutch alignment tool since about 2nd year of my apprenticeship. Or, pay me what you would of spent on a tool, and some beer, and i will align it for you :finger:
