    Anyone know where to purchase a steel wheel bolt pattern tool?

    I know there are ABS by a bunch of suppliers, but short of making one...

    Those are called a ruler or tape measure.
    I think it might be had to find one in steel, since plastic is so cheap to produce.
     
  3. What's wrong with the plastic ones? They always worked fine for me.

    I have a plastic one hanging on the pegboard - had it for years - marked for everything on the planet (sans the semi tractors). Metal rusts, bends, cuts, and, as posited earlier in this thread is MUCH more expensive than good old plastic.

    Once you go plastic, you'll never go back

    Cool, the plastic ones are the choice of you guys, that works for me! I just thought they would not work for some dumb reason. Summit is a wopping $6.69 for a ABS and one is now on the way!

    Thanks guys for your help!!!
     
  7. Gee was it the 60 bucks that convinced you.

    I got a paper on from Heidts at the Goodguys show 10 years ago for free.

    I usually just use my trained eye.;)
