I've got a dxf file that I can send via e-mail if you want to send me your real e-mail address in a PM. There is also a copy posted in the files section of the old Yahoo site at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/xs11/files/ for anybody who is subscribed there:Ken TalbotComment

Ken,
Why don't you make a bunch of these and sell them to members here on the board, I know I would buy one. Great idea for a testy little task.Comment

Well, DXF files can only be opened with Autocad. Can you print it to a PDF file (using a pdf writer like CutePDF) or use the MS Document Image Writer printer and make a .tif file, and post it here? I agree - that tool is incredible! It's simple, yet solves a problem that the folks around here have a HUGE problem with. I'm suprised I've never seen that one before!Originally posted by Ken Talbot View Post

An easier way for folks to work on this would be to browse through the long thread that traces the development of the concept and the extensive collaboration that went into it. You can jump to the part with the critical dimensions at about the end of page five here.
Be sure to go back to the start of the thread to get a good flavour of all the work that went into it, and how MRO actually made the major breakthroughKen TalbotComment

Actually, now that I've read that thread, I think the slotted option might be the better way to go. It would be easier to produce, and you would be able to handle both versions of posts. Too bad Guy's picture is gone...1980 XS850SG - Sold

Thanks KEN
I built one of your carb float pin pushers a couple of years ago after seeing yours. I chucked my threaded pusher in a drill press and with a file, ground the tip smaller, about the size of the pin. I found a old plastic knob in one of my junk drawers( what? you only have ONE junk drawer? shame on you!) and epoxied it on the end to make it turn easier.
