Default Easy to make brake centering tool

20160619_125526.jpgDid a brake job on my A over the weekend. I wanted to see how the brake shoes were centered. Using Flatheadteds floater parts. Well I just took a strong magnet (the red item in the photo) and a sheetrock circle cutter out of my tool stash and put it together on the bearing race. Walla a measuring tool !! Works great and very accurate. Just thought I would pass my genius on! LOL Frank
