This aligment tool is designed to improve on the Shimano TL-CJ40 aligment tool, that if you are familiar with has a couple of annoying design features.
The main improvement is that this tool is usuable on both sides at all times, no need to reverse the metal pinch bolt holder. Also this tool retains the cable end cap in the tool on both sides, not just the scandi side of it.
When tightening down the nuts on either side I recommend having a pinch bolt inbetween the nuts so that they align up better. The tolerances on this tool are quite tight on purpose, so you may need a little fettling to get everything to go together.
Hardware needed to finish of this tool:
4x M6x12 bolts, hex or torx head recommended, head diameter 10 mm maximum
4x M6 nuts
The reason this tool requires metal parts that can be replaced, is it's designed to be used in an actual bike repair shop where you need tools to last.
