Priobe,

Don't knock yourself out finding the "right" mount for your dial indicator. I used a dial indicator with a magnetic mount base. I fiddled around with it for an hour before I finally concluded that there was no way I could get it to mount right using the magnetic base. I then made a simple bracket out of scrap steel. It was basically just L shaped. I mounted it under one of the flywheel bolts and then secured the dial indicator to the other end using a small bolt. Just make sure the bracket you make is rigid so it doesn't move as you do the dial in procedure.
