Want to borrow - 0-1" and 7-8" micrometers
I plan on swapping my ring and pinion swap on my differential and need these two tools. Since this is going to be a one time use, I don't want to add to the project cost by buying these tools, if I can help it. If you have these and don't mind letting me borrow them (there might be a helping me out reward ), please let me know. I am in southern california so locals are preferred but I will, of course, pay for shipping both ways if I can't find someone local.
I am out of town for the rest of the month, so I am not in a terrible hurry for these. Total turn around time should not exceed two weeks. Thanks in advance!!

I don't have a problem with harbor freight tools. I buy from them all the time and, while they might not be passed down to my kids, they do the job. I actually looked at harbor freight and couldn't find what I was looking for. The 0-1" and the stand are within my price range
Think this would work for the other one? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47260

true, but then I wouldn't learn anything
And I probably won't be able to find anyone here to do it for that price. When I changed out my clutch, I couldn't find a reputable shop in 20 miles that would resurface my flywheel for less then $100.

I dont remember the manual suggesting a 0-1" mic, but you do need a dial indicator. THOSE are cheap at mcmaster.
Frankly though, you dont need the 7" one. Make yourself a fixture out of a flat piece steel that has a large C-shaped opening for the 7.031" (7 and 1/32) and grab a set of feeler gauges to get down to 7.003". You can make it with a normal vernier caliper.
