Subject:Choosing the best Pressure Plate (straight edge)

Yes, getting close to having the new/used engine
in the van.

I have a nice clutch disk now (Thanks Shawn!)
and will have the choice of, count 'em, THREE
presumably good used pressure plates.  (Thanks
Shawn & Kim!)

Assuming the fingers are healthy, Bentley talks
about measuring the out-of-flatness across the
face of the plate, cuz the inner radius of the
plate is less worn or summpin' than the outside.

I have to put a super duper straight edge long
enough to fit across the whole disk onto the disk,
then stick feeler gauges underneath.  What do y'all
use as your super duper straight edge?  I'd rather
not go out and buy one just for this.  Well, OK, I
would, but I can't afford it.
