Suggestion?

I have so much "stuff", I just took an old shaft and rocker arms, and cut the shaft to straddle two stands. Then did some cutting and grinding on the arms to get the correct seperation.
I just did that no more than an hour ago. I used a 3/4" thick wall stainless tube. I also realized we have a very similar tool in our aircraft shop for doing the same thing on opposed cylinder engines. I'll have to modify it "slightly" to make it work.
