Default Dial indicator mounts: other than Jegs

Anyone have any suggestions other than Jegs.com for dial indicator mounts or stands. I am looking to change my gears, and know where to get an Dial indicator. Just the mounts I could only find in Jegs.com for $50. Anyone cheaper? Thanks, <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

What mounts? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> Are you talking for setting the pinion depth? Or just a mag base for setting back lash?

I work in a factory that produces Camshafts for OEM. I am a quality engineer and can think of nearly a thousand different brands of Dial Indicators and Stands etc...depends on how much you are looking to spend. I'm not sure what is in Jegs, but I'm pretty sure I can find something of the sort. Email me mwrutan@hotmail.com

I sent you an email about the mount I am looking for. If anyone else knows where I can get something like the mount from Jegs.com I would appreciate the info. Here is a link for the mount I am refering to. Also this is for a rear differential gear change.

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...br=76&lastcat=

So you can have an idea of what I mean. Thanks, <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Try Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. You should be able to get one for $25 dollars. That price in Jeg's is as stupid as the price on LS1 headers. Except for Hookers.

Try http://www.ontool.com I bought my dial indicator that I use for brake work from them. They might have just the mount, either magnetic or vice grip.

Try all the discount tool stores like Harbor Freight. Also might want to check out pawn shops.
