What part of the knee do you dangle the countersink?
When you are measuring for saddle position? Is it the middle of the joint of the kneecap?
Any good links on fitting in general?

Assuming you mean the landmark you measure from when adjusting the saddle's fore / aft positioning, it's the bony bump at the top center of the shin, just below the knee cap. The technical name is the tibial tuberosity, in case you want to check an anatomy text for reference.

Why would you dangle a countersink? You using it for a plumb bob?
