Default Denver help.....clutch alignment tool

Anyone local have a clutch alignment tool? I knew exactly where mine was....6 months ago before the move. Now, I've torn this place apart and can't find it. Motor is ready to go in..just need that damn plastic $9 tool. Not cool.

Anyone?

ive had better luck getting close w/ a 1/2" socket extension, then looking straight in there and eyeballing it to the center then torquing the bolts- TT drops in every time. for some reason the tools dont always do that perfectly.

Hmmm. I pulled the motor off the front of the TT...so I'm hoping for a pretty good alignment before trying to slide it back on. Easier to 'coax' a Torque tube into a somewhat off alignment than it is coaxing the motor backwards while hanging from the engine hoist. Not sure this is going to work all that well, but going to give it a shot. Sure would hate to have to drop that damn Torque tube afterall....but if that is how it goes so be it.
