Anyone know where I can source this from?

Lots of universal tools online but not so sure about the TBH.

Call the midlife!

The last clutch I bought for the 2 came with an alignment tool, which we could only get to work if we left it in place after fitting the clutch so was a bit of a white elephant.
Just used a well calibrated eyeball in the end, I think that's the course most people end up taking.
60% of the time it works everytime...

Dean at Rutland MR2 used to use a long 3/8 drive 14mm socket.

We have one we made from an old broom handle, turned on the lathe..

Car parts shops sell a variety of 'universal' ones.

I got a universal from Halfords years ago, wasnt as good a proper bespoke slide in but works well enough and used in on my MR2 no other,  just need to do good visual checking as you go as well to make sure its central.

This is what i have -  Halfords Universal
Ex-2005 roadster  owner, i will be back :D

I did eyeball it when I last fitted it, but the engine was on a stand and it was much easier. This time with the engine in situ it will be a bit tricky I think.

I'll just buy once of these universal tools and see how I go.
