As Silver steel is 13” long, the rear upstand wall is cut to 12” long. The side walls are 7”, the anvil and clamping jaws are 5” long.
The base is shiny formica (not Melamine) covered chipboard - an old cupboard door! The slots in the side walls allow front and back
adjustment for the aligning rod, which is to be held in place by round head wood screws.

Method of use.
The two chassis sides are clamped in the slots between the anvil and jaws, and pushed tightly up against the front wall - which is exactly
at 90deg to the anvil. The alignment rod is passed through the side bearers, and  clamped so that they are exactly parallel to both the base
and the back wall. This will ensure that the two holes are aligned. It can be done with top hats (fixed axle - driving) already fitted.
Coupling rods are used on long jig rods to align each bearing.
