[Vwdiesel] Dial indicator

[Erik Lane]

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The shank on my dial indicator
is indeed 8mm, and the length of the shank is ~15-16mm. (My calipers can't
quite get the exact measurement, but that part isn't nearly as critical as
the correct diameter.)

Is there anything else that anyone would like to know about it?
