Front axle spindle angle template

[brianpharmd]

I am wanting to check to ensure that my front axle is straight. I have watched the Diablo A's rebuilding DVD and in it they discuss maching rods to place in the spindle and radius arm mounts on the axle. I don't have a lath or other device to machine these rods - are there any other suggestions out there that are homemade or options people have purchased from hardware/craft stores?

Also, I need to check the angle at the spindes - 7 degrees I believe. In the DVD, they use a template. I reached out to the Diablo A's about obtaining a copy of the template but did not receive one back. Does anyone have a copy of a template they used or something that has worked for you? I want to check and then provide something to the machine shop that will do the work on the axle if the angle is not correct.

Before posting, I searched the forum using "template" or "axle+template" or "front+template" and did not find any threads within the past 4 years.

Thanks!
