Use your finger.

Use your finger.

since the crank doesn't have a spigot you don't need to be as accurate as with some cars. Finger tips onto the outside edge of the plate works just fine.

You can usually line it up good enough anyway by sight and/or feel.

I used a screwdriver with my Datsun last year, clutch fitted sweet as a nut.

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

fingers . you can't do better than fingers . feel alround the plate to make sure it is equal alround the pressure plate . then nip up the bolts . job done . :)
