Wobble test tool for IO-390?

[Av8rRob]

I am researching the wobble test for my -390 and trying to figure out the best tool solution for the bracket that holds the dial indicator. Does anyone have any great solutions/ schematics/ tried this with a 3-d printer ideas?

Thanks

I machined one. I simple found a mechanic that had a cylinder and then made a bracket to fit it. The Federal indicator was purchased from E-Bay for about $30.00. The drawing for the valve extension is available from a Lycoming service bulletin.

I copied one from a pic I think I found on the site. Doesn't need to be fancy but the height of the gauge from the surface of the cylinder is important. That spec is in Lycomings service bulletin.

Glad you posted that. All of the go / no go dimensions provided are based upon the dial indicator height.
