Did one more trip to Ace to get some magnets to make a tool holder and some magnetic pushpins to use for marking the rim at specific points. Used some spare metal strips to make metal runners for the magnetic base to attach to.
Also got a 5mm Motion Pro Ergo spoke wrench, which was a great piece of kit, but which then revealed that the aftermarket nipples I'm using aren't consistently 5mm! Some are slightly bigger meaning I have to switch back to the other wrench.
But all in all, absolutely loving the entire "workstation".
Features:
- Solid base to hold the swing arm including cork lined uprights with C-clamps (Nicko's idea!)
- Metal runners for attaching the dial gauge's magnetic base.
- Double tool holder magnets for the 2 spoke wrenches.
- Paper clip pointers showing both hop and runout simultaneously.
- Can be disassembled for long-term storage.
- Perhaps most importantly, it makes use of the previously wasted "wide" swing arm!
