Tool Measurements

Hello all,
I've been looking around for a special tool that is ridiculously priced. I own a welder so I am going to build it myself. The tool is one component of this two piece set. I found the alignment shaft for a reasonable price, however the cheapest I can find the spring compressor for is $100+, even on ebay it's $90. It's just a metal plate with 3 dowels and a ring so I only need a couple measurements.

It appears you want us to guess what you are trying to build.

OK - Googled it and seems it's currently for Chrysler products for a spring in transfer case. No specs found just the tool out there. I think you should just buy the proper tool as things go for tools that's dirt to enable you to work on a transfer case if that's what you are doing.
If you must somehow save $100 bucks just wait till your creation messes something up and see what it will cost you. If you do this all the time it's a poor place to hack a tool IMO. Why not buy one and duplicate it and sell enough of them if you are that good at it?

Tom, that's not very constructive help.
I googled for days before I went to the forums. I found a guy on eBay with the tool for sale but would not measure it.
Tom, the tools required to work on my transmission cost $1000s. As much cost as I can save the soon my truck will be back on the road. I bought my truck for $1700 and less than 2 months of driving the transmission blew up. I have the rebuild kit, torque converter, and a fair amount of the tools on loan/available to borrow and the ones I couldn't borrow I had to buy. So far it's $400 and I'm broke and that took me two months to amass and I'm in debt by doing it. So...unless you have this tool and have changed your mind about measuring it, I ask to keep your humble opinions to yourself. I'm pissed off enough at this F**king truck without old men with more money than me telling me to just buy the F**king tool.

OK, Mr wrinkle. You have just burned your bridges and likely won't get much help here. You think you can do what we do without having to spend any of the money that we do. Good luck with that. You can probably expect to start all over and pay a trans shop to do everything you did all over again when it doesn't work.
