I got a teclock bore gauge at an auction with a broken dial indicator. The
"gun barrel" around the indicator plunger is 5/16" not the universal
standard 3/8".

I looked through all the MSC and J&L catalogs. Many indicators don't show
dimensions, but the ones that do all show 3/8". Anyone know of a small
diameter dial indicator.

I'll try calling tech. service tomorrow, but I think they'll send me to the
high dollar indicators. I'd like to buy something under $75.

Found out I must be looking for an 8mm stem (0.315") dial indicator. They
had one for $300. Still looking. Lot of nice information here, I bookmarked
the site.

8mm is the standard here (6mm available too, but an exception). But 300$
NOT. I would have to pay around 60$ for 1/100 resolution and a good
brand.
Mitutoyo dealer near you?

Karl, if you can use a 1 micron +- 50 micron travel Johansen, let me know
and I'll email you. Not free, but a long long way from what you've been
quoted.
