Anyone know of any stores that would sell a dial indicator? I checked all the local auto parts stores and they didn't even know what it was... I need to get my rear end together this weekend so I'd like to buy one locally as opposed to online.

 

HARBER FREIGHT in my neck of the woods sell them, some radio shacks also,also grangers hardware

 

SEARS will have them in Stock.
You'll also need a Mag Base to set it up correctly

 

Yes, you must have the magnetic base, which Harbor Freight does not show on their web site (so probably their store also?).
I picked mine up at Summit, and got it in one day. Cost was reasonable, at $30.

 

found it at sears, thanks
