ABSTRACT:
An adapter for facilitating the use of a device, such as an inclinometer, for measuring the angular inclination of components in a vehicular drive train system is disclosed. The adapter includes an L-shaped bracket having a generally cylindrical head portion secured thereto. The bracket includes long and short legs, each of which are defined by parallel surfaces. The parallel surfaces of the long leg are perpendicular to the parallel surfaces of the short leg. The inclinometer may be mounted in any one of several different orientations on either of the surfaces of the long leg. The head portion has a closed end, which is secured to the bracket, and an opened, which is adapted to engage an end surface of a universal joint bearing cap. The opened end has a plurality of slots formed therein which define axial extensions. The extensions permit the adaptor to be used when the universal joint is mounted in a half round end yoke having integral end lugs.
