ABSTRACT:
An adapter for facilitating the use of a device, such as an inclinometer, to measure the angular inclination of components in a vehicular drive train system is disclosed. The adapter includes a rectangular bracket having a flat upper surface and a lower surface. The bracket includes first and second legs extending from the lower surface and terminating in respective flat end surfaces. The end surfaces define a plane which is precisely parallel to the flat upper surface of the bracket. The inclinometer may be mounted in one of two different orientations on the flat upper surface of the bracket. The legs are spaced apart a predetermined distance to allow the end surfaces to engage flats machined on the surface of a full round end yoke of a universal joint without interference from the end flange portion of the bearing cap.
