Those tools look good.
Many years ago I was working on rebuilding the transmission in my 1988 Sportster. To do some checks on the shift forks to determine if I needed standard or +1, std, or -1 forks I needed a special jig to hold the transmission shafts in position while not installed in the engine.
Showed it to my first wife, well only one at that time, she worked at a local medical instrument manufacturer just up the road. What I needed was a drawing showing the center to center locations of the three shafts. She was the supervisor of the incoming inspection department.
She said that's easy, give me the removable cover from the left side. Think she popped it in the comparator and in a couple minutes had a drawing showing the center to center measurements of the three shaft. I just had to lay it out on a piece of 1/2 inch Plexiglas and transfer the centers and after measuring the three shaft diameters bore the three holes.
Over the years used that tool three or four times and worked just fine! That outfit had some fun toys to work with and also made some of the tools you don't look forward to doing the "Prep" work for if you know what I mean. I'd mention I had some of the slightly defective models but don't want any joke about starting a side job. But I guess I did mention it so I will probably get it in the end!
