Hello,

I have a camber/caster bubble gauge that I have started to use to do my own alignments.. It is magnetic and to use it you pop the grease cap off of the hub, and then stick It to the flat on the rotor hub.

It works great with stock wheels, but with say magnum 500's or anything more modern it will not reach to the flat of the rotor.


does anyone make an adapter that will thread onto the spindle to extend through the center of the wheel to attach the bubble gauge to?

thanks for any help, info or links.




Greg

Could one be made from a threaded coupler and a piece of flat stock jigged to ensure that the coupler is 90 degree true/perpendicular to the plate?

Greg, this sounds amazing. Kind of a dream come true. Can you post a photo or link to a site with one?

Sam,

I am not sure how amazing this is, but I was looking for one of these, but to fit the Typical 60's -80's rwd Mopar Spindle Thread for cars and 2wd trucks.

no not yet.

I will probably get a local machine shop make me a piece that will be Bout 6" long and thread into the spindle threads. I will then stick the bubble gauge onto it. I only need it for cars that have big or deep wheels that you can't access the rotor hub face ... like the manhunt 500 style wheel or on the race car where I have no cast iron rotors anymore.



this project was away low on my list for now.
