Niels and all- I recently posted the above on Classic Rendezvous. I had replied to a post about aligning drop outs and suggested a simple home made tool using a hollow axle cut in two and then sighting through the hollows of each half (when secured into the drop outs) to check the parallelness of the drop outs. I also mentioned that aligned drop outs is not the same as aligning a fork and that i use the sighting through a small diameter tube in a home made fork aligning method. Some one asked me to describe this fork aligning method. So I did. The above was copied from CR.

I'll be happy to fill in more detail or answer any questions if you have some. Andy.
