    Need a Dummy shaft for Dummies

    I haven't been able to find a dummy alignment shaft anywhere. The only answer I get is they come in the kit (mine didn't). Anybody have one for a T-90 (2A) they want to sell or loan? I really will mail it back........really. :D

    I posted a reply in the otehr section, you can get a universal that works great from most FLAPS or even sears, I got mine at sears for like $14.00...

    What Bubba said. I have a clutch alignment tool. I hope to never have to use it again. R)

    Sears I think. Has various fittings for different size pilot bearing/bushings.

    Not as good as a real input shaft but it'll get you there.

    Gump,

    Take your old T-90 apart and use the input shaft. Not terrible difficult to take one apart, and the input shaft is about the best alignment tool you'll ever own.

    Otherwise, you can do like my grandpa did and turn down a brass rod to fit.
    Heck, you could even use a wood dowel. Of course, if you don't have a lathe, then you have to explore other options.....

    Got one in the tool box. Can I send in the same box as the steering wheel?
