tool for pinion angle?

[gonefishin]

I am about to install my 14bff and I need some way of measuring pinion angle so I can weld my spring perches

What's everyone use?

It would be great to have something I could use when I start bending tubing too

I don't want to spend a ton but I don't want to waste money on something that's just going to break either

Angle finder from harbor freight. Just measure your transfer case angle and match that. Boom done.

The HF digital angle finder seems to work good. Have used it a bunch in the 2 years I have had it and the only problem is turning it off sometimes seems finicky on the button but otherwise decent enough for my uses.
