Default Specialty Tools

I was wondering if anybody could give me some specs, dimensions, etc.. on a few HD tools I've needed and will need again. The first one is the Primary Drive Locking Tool. I would like to fabricate my own so I need the dimensions. The other tool needed is the Clutch Spring Compression Tool for '89-'98 5-speed transmissions. I would like to fabricate my own as well. If anybody has these tools and wouldn't mind measuring them and posting, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

You can get by without using the primary locking drive. Rags and the ends of hammers or old screwdrivers work alright for me. The rags get ruined.....but they are cheap.

1998 and up do not require the spring compressor tool. 1989-1997 Big Twins do need that tool you are talking about.I belive the Sportsters need the same tool as well. The thing to do is to upgrade the older models with a 1998-newer clutch pack....much better clutch.

As for sizes and getting one fabricated.....couldn't tell you.
