I'm sure there is but so far I've been unable to locate the specs on how to build a proper alignment plank. Does anyone have a link please ? Thanks.......RRR
Also are there any updates on the newest of the new specs on how to build a nice Concentricity Gage ?
Sheltering in place has it's advantages, doing things you've always wanted to do but never had or took the time.
Stay safe fellow builders !!

Re: Alignment Plank
rrr, you have a special need of requiring 2 different sizes of Pin gages. You need a .0965 for BSA wheels and since you also race in AWANA you will need a gage to test those wheels. Perhaps someone on Derbytalk can help us with the size Pin gage needed. Building the gage mount is going to be very easy because you will copy what Knott did but build it out of wood. Knotty's gage is very fancy but you are not going to need all that. The operating mechanism is all on one side of the block and since you will be drilling wood it will be very easy to make because the bolts can go all the way through. The advantage will be the way the Pin gage is held. You will be able to change the size of the Pin gage in less then a minute or two.
If interested, email me.

Stan Pope shows his tuning board in this link.

Some will build a 3 ft long table.. some will make them up to 4 ft or even as long as 8 ft for a tuning board table.
5 kids racing has a download for a tuning table graphic
