Chevy 12 bolt pinion dept tool
 
Does anyone know where to buy a good pinion dept tool? I am looking for a good instalation tool, one that is not complicated and easy to use. I would consider a used tool, so if anyone has one for sale, please let me know.
Thanks...

Contact Adrian Pendergrass at Precision Measurement Supply in San Antonio. His is as easy as any to use.

Hello John

The pinion depth tool I bought was made by Pro Parts out of Los Angeles. It is their deluxe model that does do the 12 bolt rear end as well Dana 60,Ford 9",Chrysler 8 3/4", 55-64 Chev, 57-64 Olds/Pontiac,64-70 Olds,8" Ford,63-72 Corvette & American Motors Rambler,AMX & Javelin. It is easy to use & is a very high quality unit. Set my Dana 60 up years ago with it & the ring & pinion still look like new. Not sure if the company is still around as I got this unit twenty years ago. The number I have for them is 213-821-2911.

John, I Have Used Adrian's Measurement Tool For Years. It Is Easy To
Use And Is Dead Nuts Accurate. From One Stick Racer To Another, If
That 12-bolt Isn't Done Right You'll Find Out The First Pass!!!!!!

Pro Parts, owned by Ex-Pro Stock Bill Bagshaw, closed many years ago. I also recommend Andrian's set up tool. Powerhouse sells a copy of Andrian's set up tool at a higher price.

If anyone is still interested, I've got a deluxe Pro Parts Pinion Depth Checker for sale. I purchased it 19 years ago and used it only four times. Honest!

High quality tool. Excellent condition. $225.00 + UPS.
