   I figured what the hell , I'm on a roll as far as tooling purchases . 
Snap gauges are all good and fine , but it gets confusing sometimes when 
mapping an out of round/belled cylinder . Translation : I'm gettin' lazy 
in my old age . This one looks like it would be pretty easy to fabricate 
a missing rod , and I have a couple of pieces of O1 drill rod the right 
size .
