I made these two brackets to properly align the two heads when reassembling the drive.

This is a little tool that very few people will ever need, but it's time to share it anyway. Over the past few years I've repaired a couple of Commodore 1571 floppy disk drives. I had to remove the read/write heads from the Mitsumi-built drive mechanism and separate the two. In one case I had to completely replace the top head, in another case I had to repair the spring steel hinge.

I made these two brackets to properly align the two heads when reassembling the drive.
