Plastic clutch alignment tool for MT

[fmorelli]

Gee you'd think this is simple. It probably is. I've searched high and low and can't find a place to purchase a simple plastic clutch alignment tool. Note, I'm not talking about the BMW factory centering tool that is metal. The plastic clutch alignment tool which aligns the splines. Any pointers?!

Thanks,

Filippo

I made one out of a 550i plastic alignment tool and a wood screw.

Ugly but worked

Hey @fmorelli,

Your Xclutch kit will come with a metal one!!

Thanks,

The xtreme comes with a metal one and will serve you well and it also works with stock 550i clutches if you choose to go back one day which
I know you never will that's how good they are.

Thanks guys. Not for the XClutch. I just need plastic N54 alignment tool. Can one be purchased anywhere? Is this a Captain Obvious question and I'm missing something? (@MDORPHN thanks for the loaner offer - I need one I can destroy, though)

i purchased a cheap plastic 550i alignment tool at FCP

then cut it here, removed the inset and drilled the bore to match the spigot.

My clutchmaster kit came with a pastic alignment tool, but i dont see that they list just the pastic tool( they list only the metal one)
Fyi, the plastic alignment tool fit very tight.
