I have a B&S BesTesT indicator (7033-5) that I would like to use with a long indicator point. The standard length is .5 inches. I want to reach into the throat area of a 6 ppc. About 1 3/4 to 2 inches with a .060 - .080 ball would be great.
I have tried a local indicator shop with no success. I contacted Long Island Indicator but have not heard back from them yet. Enco does not have them.
I do have a couple of Mitutoyo 513-104's that will reach up there if I pre-bore.
I do have a Grizzly rod, range rod, and pilots from Pacific. That method works.
My purpose is to prove to myself (and a friend) that there is no measurable difference in the method used to set up a barrel in the lathe.
Any help with a source for a long indicator point would be greatly appreciated.
